Spring Pulsar is released under the Apache 2.0 license. If you would like to contribute something, or want to hack on the code this document should help you get started.
This project adheres to the Contributor Covenant code of conduct. By participating, you are expected to uphold this code. Please report unacceptable behavior to [email protected].
We use GitHub issues to track bugs and enhancements.
If you are reporting a bug, please help to speed up problem diagnosis by providing as much information as possible. Ideally, that would include a small sample project that reproduces the problem.
If you think you have found a security vulnerability in Spring Pulsar please DO NOT disclose it publicly until we’ve had a chance to fix it. Please don’t report security vulnerabilities using GitHub issues, instead head over to https://spring.io/security-policy and learn how to disclose them responsibly.
Before we accept a non-trivial patch or pull request we will need you to sign the Contributor License Agreement. Signing the contributor’s agreement does not grant anyone commit rights to the main repository, but it does mean that we can accept your contributions, and you will get an author credit if we do. Active contributors might be asked to join the core team, and given the ability to merge pull requests.
None of these is essential for a pull request, but they will all help. They can also be added after the original pull request but before a merge.

We use the Spring JavaFormat project to apply code formatting conventions. If you use Eclipse and you follow the ‘Importing into eclipse’ instructions below you should get project specific formatting automatically. You can also install the Spring JavaFormat IntelliJ Plugin or format the code from the Gradle build by running
./gradlew format
. -
The build includes Checkstyle rules for many of our code conventions. Run
./gradlew checkstyleMain checkstyleTest
if you want to check your changes are compliant. -
Make sure all new
.java
files have a Javadoc class comment with at least an@author
tag identifying you, and preferably at least a paragraph on what the class is for. -
Add the ASF license header comment to all new
.java
files (copy from existing files in the project). -
Add yourself as an
@author
to the.java
files that you modify substantially (more than cosmetic changes). -
Add some Javadocs.
-
A few unit tests would help a lot as well — someone has to do it.
-
Verification tasks, including tests and Checkstyle, can be executed by running
./gradlew check
from the project root. Note thatSPRING_PROFILES_ACTIVE
environment variable might affect the result of tests, so in that case, you can prevent it by runningunset SPRING_PROFILES_ACTIVE
before running the task. -
If no-one else is using your branch, please rebase it against the current main branch (or other target branch in the project).

When writing a commit message please follow these conventions.
