Code changes

Development process

The development process doesn't contain many surprises. As most projects on github anyone can contribute by forking the repo and posting a pull request. See GitHub's documentation for more information. Small changes don't require an issue. However, it is good practice to open up an issue for larger changes.

Style guide

Changes must adhere to the style guide and this will be verified by the continuous integration build.

Java + Kotlin code style is checked by Spotless with google-java-format during build.

Configuring the Code Formatter for Intellij IDEA and Eclipse

Follow the instructions for Eclipse or IntelliJ, note the required manual actions for IntelliJ.

Automatically fixing code style issues

Java and Kotlin code style issues can be fixed from the command line using ./gradlew spotlessApply.

Submitting a pull request

Anyone can take part in the review process and once the community is happy and the build actions are passing a Pull Request will be merged. Support must be unanimous for a change to be merged.
