# Development Information

Build the Surefire project using **Maven 3.6.3+** and **JDK 8+**.

* In order to run tests for a release check during the Vote, the following memory requirements are needed:

  On Linux/Unix:
  ```
  export MAVEN_OPTS="-server -Xmx512m -XX:MetaspaceSize=128m -XX:MaxMetaspaceSize=384m -XX:+UseG1GC -XX:+UseStringDeduplication -XX:+TieredCompilation -XX:TieredStopAtLevel=1 -XX:SoftRefLRUPolicyMSPerMB=50 -Djava.awt.headless=true"
  ```
  On Windows:
  ```
  set MAVEN_OPTS="-server -Xmx256m -XX:MetaspaceSize=128m -XX:MaxMetaspaceSize=384m -XX:+UseG1GC -XX:+UseStringDeduplication -XX:+TieredCompilation -XX:TieredStopAtLevel=1 -XX:SoftRefLRUPolicyMSPerMB=50 -Djava.awt.headless=true"
  ```

* In order to build and run the tests:
  ```
  mvn install site site:stage -P reporting,run-its
  ```

* To set up the project in [Eclipse IDE](https://www.eclipse.org/) or [IntelliJ IDEA](https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/), please follow these steps:

  * Build module `surefire-shared-utils` with profile `ide-development` and install it into the local maven repository using this Maven command:
    ```
    mvn install -P ide-development -f surefire-shared-utils/pom.xml
    ```
    
  * In Eclipse, select _File > Import ... > Maven Project_

     * Select all projects (poms) except `surefire-shared-utils`,
       enter profile `ide-development` in _Advanced -> Profiles_
  * In IntelliJ, select _Maven > Profiles_ and check `ide-development`
