Contributing

Pull requests for bug fixes are always welcome!

Before submitting new features or changes to current functionality, it is recommended to first open an issue and discuss your ideas or propose the changes you wish to make.

Building

In order to build and test this whole repository you need JDK 11+.

Some instrumentations and tests may put constraints on which java versions they support. See Running the tests for more details.

Snapshot builds

For developers testing code changes before a release is complete, there are snapshot builds of the main branch. They are available from the Sonatype OSS snapshots repository at https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/ (browse)

Building from source

Build using Java 11+:

java -version
./gradlew assemble

and then you can find the java agent artifact at

javaagent/build/libs/opentelemetry-javaagent-<version>.jar.

Opening the build scan link can sometimes take several seconds (it's a large build), but it typically makes it a lot clearer what's failing.
