Contributing to jPipe

Setting up your environment

Java Development

• If you're working on the compiler, you'll have to use a version compatible with the latest long term support (LTS) version of Java, i.e., Java 21.
• Build lifecycle and dependency management is handled by Maven
• For coding conventions, we rely on a customized version of Google's CheckStyle rules. Import the file located at compiler/src/main/resources/checkstyle/google_checks_intelliJ.xml in your IDE to check your code while writing it.

Building and deploying artifacts

VS Code extension (langium)

• to build the extension (from the langium directory): vsce package

• to publish the extension (from the langium directory): vsce publish

  • Ensure the compiler is embedded in the ./jar directory, as jpipe.jar.

• McSCert management portal on VS Marketplace: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/manage/publishers/mcscert
