Build

GeoGit is built using Maven:

cd src
mvn clean install

Online tests, require a geogit endpoint, are available using:

mvn -Ponline

Cobertura is configured for a test coverage report:

mvn cobertura:cobertura
open target/site/cobertura/index.html

Any additional build profiles are documented in the root pom.xml:pom.xml .

If you would like to work in Eclipse use of the m2eclipse plugin recommended.

Please carefully apply the code formatting options in the buld/eclipse/formatter.xml file. These are the standard Java formatting options with 100 character line length for both code and comments, and 4 spaces for indentation. It is also recommended to use the code templates from build/eclipse/codetemlates.xml.
