OpenJDK Project Skara

The goal of Project Skara is to investigate alternative SCM and code review options for the OpenJDK source code, including options based upon Git rather than Mercurial, and including options hosted by third parties.

This repository contains tooling for working with OpenJDK projects and their repositories. The following CLI tools are available as part of this repository:

• git-jcheck - a backwards compatible Git port of jcheck
• git-webrev - a backwards compatible Git port of webrev
• git-defpath - a backwards compatible Git port of defpath
• git-fork - fork a project on an external Git source code hosting provider to your personal space and optionally clone it
• git-pr - interact with pull requests for a project on an external Git source code hosting provider
• git-info - show OpenJDK information about commits, e.g. issue links, authors, contributors, etc.
• git-token - interact with a Git credential manager for handling personal access tokens
• git-translate - translate between Mercurial and Git hashes
• git-skara - learn about and update the Skara CLI tools

There are also CLI tools available for importing OpenJDK Mercurial repositories into Git repositories and vice versa:

• git-openjdk-import
• git-verify-import
• hg-openjdk-import

The following server-side tools (so called "bots") for interacting with external Git source code hosting providers are available:

• hgbridge - continuously convert Mercurial repositories to git
• mlbridge - bridge messages between mailing lists and pull requests
• notify - send email notifications when repositories are updated
• pr - add OpenJDK workflow support for pull requests
• submit - example pull request test runner

Building

JDK 12 or later and Gradle 5.2.1 or later is required for building. To build the project on macOS or GNU/Linux, just run the following command from the source tree root:

$ sh gradlew

To build the project on Windows, run the following command from the source tree root:

> gradlew

The extracted jlinked image will end up in the build directory in the source tree root.

It is also supported to cross-jlink jimages to GNU/Linux, macOS and/or Windows from any of the aforementioned operating systems. To build all applicable jimages (including the server-side tooling), run the following command from the source tree root:

sh gradlew images

Installing

To install the Skara tools, include the skara.gitconfig Git configuration file in your user-level Git configuration file. On macOS or GNU/Linux:

$ git config --global include.path "$PWD/skara.gitconfig"

On Windows:

> git config --global include.path "%CD%/skara.gitconfig"

To check that everything works as expected, run the command git skara help.

Testing

JUnit 5.3.1 or later is required to run the unit tests. To run the tests, execute following command from the source tree root:

$ sh gradlew test

The tests expect Git version 2.19.1 or later and Mercurial 4.7.1 or later to be installed on your system.

This repository also contains a Dockerfile, test.dockerfile, that allows for running the tests in a reproducible way with the proper dependencies configured. To run the tests in this way, run the following command from the source tree root:

$ sh gradlew reproduce
