Development
Building
To build yGuard you will need Java >= 7.
Download the repository and build yGuard using ./gradlew build.
The bundle version (for Ant users) is built using the assembleBundleDist task (e.g ./gradlew assembleBundleDist).
The assembleBundleDist task comes with a optional parameter to copy documentation (-Pcopy-docs).
In order to build the documentation you will need mkdocs:
pip3 install mkdocs # or use a virtual environment if you prefer
mkdocs build
Using IntellIJ with yGuard
yGuard will be loaded without further ado from IntellIJ thanks to the Gradle integration.
Opening the yGuard folder will set up Gradle and mark sources, tests and resources accordingly.
