ANNOUNCEMENT
IMPORTANT: This repository is now migrated as part of core Spring Cloud Stream - https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-stream. Please create new issues over at the core repository.
Apache Kafka Binder
Usage
To use Apache Kafka binder, you need to add spring-cloud-stream-binder-kafka as a dependency to your Spring Cloud Stream application, as shown in the following example for Maven:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-cloud-stream-binder-kafka</artifactId>
</dependency>Alternatively, you can also use the Spring Cloud Stream Kafka Starter, as shown in the following example for Maven:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-stream-kafka</artifactId>
</dependency>Apache Kafka Streams Binder
Usage
To use Apache Kafka Streams binder, you need to add spring-cloud-stream-binder-kafka-streams as a dependency to your Spring Cloud Stream application, as shown in the following example for Maven:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-cloud-stream-binder-kafka-streams</artifactId>
</dependency>Appendices
Appendix A: Building
Basic Compile and Test
To build the source you will need to install JDK 1.7.
The build uses the Maven wrapper so you don’t have to install a specific version of Maven. To enable the tests, you should have Kafka server 0.9 or above running before building. See below for more information on running the servers.
The main build command is
$ ./mvnw clean install
You can also add '-DskipTests' if you like, to avoid running the tests.
|
Note
|
You can also install Maven (>=3.3.3) yourself and run the mvn command
in place of ./mvnw in the examples below. If you do that you also
might need to add -P spring if your local Maven settings do not
contain repository declarations for spring pre-release artifacts.
|
|
Note
|
Be aware that you might need to increase the amount of memory
available to Maven by setting a MAVEN_OPTS environment variable with
a value like -Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m. We try to cover this in
the .mvn configuration, so if you find you have to do it to make a
build succeed, please raise a ticket to get the settings added to
source control.
|
The projects that require middleware generally include a
docker-compose.yml, so consider using
Docker Compose to run the middeware servers
in Docker containers.
Documentation
There is a "full" profile that will generate documentation.
Working with the code
If you don’t have an IDE preference we would recommend that you use Spring Tools Suite or Eclipse when working with the code. We use the m2eclipe eclipse plugin for maven support. Other IDEs and tools should also work without issue.
Importing into eclipse with m2eclipse
We recommend the m2eclipe eclipse plugin when working with eclipse. If you don’t already have m2eclipse installed it is available from the "eclipse marketplace".
Unfortunately m2e does not yet support Maven 3.3, so once the projects
are imported into Eclipse you will also need to tell m2eclipse to use
the .settings.xml file for the projects. If you do not do this you
may see many different errors related to the POMs in the
projects. Open your Eclipse preferences, expand the Maven
preferences, and select User Settings. In the User Settings field
click Browse and navigate to the Spring Cloud project you imported
selecting the .settings.xml file in that project. Click Apply and
then OK to save the preference changes.
|
Note
|
Alternatively you can copy the repository settings from .settings.xml into your own ~/.m2/settings.xml.
|
Importing into eclipse without m2eclipse
If you prefer not to use m2eclipse you can generate eclipse project metadata using the following command:
$ ./mvnw eclipse:eclipse
The generated eclipse projects can be imported by selecting import existing projects
from the file menu.
[[contributing]
== Contributing
Spring Cloud is released under the non-restrictive Apache 2.0 license, and follows a very standard Github development process, using Github tracker for issues and merging pull requests into master. If you want to contribute even something trivial please do not hesitate, but follow the guidelines below.
Sign the Contributor License Agreement
Before we accept a non-trivial patch or pull request we will need you to sign the contributor’s 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.
Code Conventions and Housekeeping
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.
-
Use the Spring Framework code format conventions. If you use Eclipse you can import formatter settings using the
eclipse-code-formatter.xmlfile from the Spring Cloud Build project. If using IntelliJ, you can use the Eclipse Code Formatter Plugin to import the same file. -
Make sure all new
.javafiles to have a simple Javadoc class comment with at least an@authortag identifying you, and preferably at least a paragraph on what the class is for. -
Add the ASF license header comment to all new
.javafiles (copy from existing files in the project) -
Add yourself as an
@authorto the .java files that you modify substantially (more than cosmetic changes). -
Add some Javadocs and, if you change the namespace, some XSD doc elements.
-
A few unit tests would help a lot as well — someone has to do it.
-
If no-one else is using your branch, please rebase it against the current master (or other target branch in the main project).
-
When writing a commit message please follow these conventions, if you are fixing an existing issue please add
Fixes gh-XXXXat the end of the commit message (where XXXX is the issue number).
