git config --global user.name "Your Full Name"
git config --global user.email [email protected]

If you use different computers to contribute, please make sure the name is the same on all your computers.

Setup

If you have not done so on this machine, you need to:

  • Install Git and configure your GitHub access

  • Install Java SDK 11+ (OpenJDK recommended)

IDE Config and Code Style

log4j2-jboss-logmanager has a strictly enforced code style. Code formatting is done by the Eclipse code formatter, using the config files found in the eclipse-code-formatter.xml file. By default, when you run mvn verify, the code will be formatted automatically. When submitting a pull request the CI build will fail if running the formatter results in any code changes, so it is recommended that you always run a full Maven build before submitting a pull request.

Eclipse Setup

Open the Preferences window, and then navigate to JavaCode StyleFormatter. Click Import and then select the eclipse-code-formatter.xml downloaded from the above link or clone the repository and navigate to the file.

Next navigate to JavaCode StyleOrganize Imports. Click Import and select the eclipse.importorder file.

IDEA Setup

Install the Adapter for Eclipse Code Formatter. See the documentation on how to configure the plugin.
