Developer FAQ

How do I set up my IDE?
How do I develop a new feature for the Kieker core?
How do I get my feature into Kieker master?
How should I name my branch?
How do I build Kieker?
Use the gradle wrapper script, not your own gradle installation, and execute:
```
gradlew.bat aspectJJar
```
This command builds Kieker's AspectJ version.
If you just want to build your current Kieker project, for example, to manually test a feature on your local computer, we recommend to disable the execution of both the quality assurance checks and the tests by using "-x check":
```
gradlew.bat aspectJJar -x check
```
For more information about Gradle's phases for Java applications, we refer to https://docs.gradle.org/3.3/userguide/java_plugin.html.
How do I check my code contributions for code quality issues?
Use the gradle wrapper script, not your own gradle installation, and execute:
```
gradlew.bat checkThresholds
```
This command execute the quality assurance tools Findbugs, PMD, and Checkstyle.
If you just want to check your current Kieker project on your local computer, for example, to prepare a pull request, we recommend to disable the execution of tests by using "-x test":
```
gradlew.bat checkThresholds -x test
```
