Building from source

JMXFetch uses Maven for its build system.

In order to generate the jar artifact, simply run the mvn clean compile assembly:single command in the cloned directory.

The distribution will be created under target/.

Coding standards

To perform a Checkstyle analysis and outputs violations, run:

mvn checkstyle::check

Checkstyle analysis is automatically executed prior to compiling the code, testing.

Generated code
