Want to contribute? Great! We try to make it easy, and all contributions, even the smaller ones, are more than welcome. This includes bug reports, fixes, documentation, examples... But first, read this page (including the small print at the end).
All original contributions to Quarkus are licensed under the ASL - Apache License, version 2.0 or later, or, if another license is specified as governing the file or directory being modified, such other license.
All contributions are subject to the Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO). The DCO text is also included verbatim in the dco.txt file in the root directory of the repository.
This project uses GitHub issues to manage the issues. Open an issue directly in GitHub.
If you believe you found a bug, and it's likely possible, please indicate a way to reproduce it, what you are seeing and what you would expect to see. Don't forget to indicate your Quarkus, Java, Maven/Gradle and GraalVM version.
Sometimes a bug has been fixed in the master
branch of Quarkus and you want to confirm it is fixed for your own application.
Testing the master
branch is easy and you have two options:
- either use the snapshots we publish daily on https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/
- or build Quarkus all by yourself
This is a quick summary to get you to quickly test master. If you are interested in having more details, refer to the Build section and the Usage section.
Snapshots are published daily so you will have to wait for a snapshot containing the commits you are interested in.
Then just add https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/ as a Maven repository and a plugin repository.
You can check the last publication date here: https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/io/quarkus/ .
Just do the following:
git clone git@github.com:quarkusio/quarkus.git
cd quarkus
export MAVEN_OPTS="-Xmx1563m"
./mvnw -Dquickly
Wait for a bit and you're done.
Be careful, when using the master
branch, you need to use the quarkus-bom
instead of the quarkus-universe-bom
.
Update both the versions of the quarkus-bom
and the Quarkus Maven plugin to 999-SNAPSHOT
.
You can now test your application.
To contribute, use GitHub Pull Requests, from your own fork.
All submissions, including submissions by project members, need to be reviewed before being merged.
- We decided to disallow
@author
tags in the Javadoc: they are hard to maintain, especially in a very active project, and we use the Git history to track authorship. GitHub also has this nice page with your contributions. For each major Quarkus release, we also publish the list of contributors in the announcement post. - Commits should be atomic and semantic. Please properly squash your pull requests before submitting them. Fixup commits can be used temporarily during the review process but things should be squashed at the end to have meaningful commits. We use merge commits so the GitHub Merge button cannot do that for us. If you don't know how to do that, just ask in your pull request, we will be happy to help!
Because we are all humans, and to ensure Quarkus is stable for everyone, all changes must go through Quarkus continuous integration. Quarkus CI is based on GitHub Actions, which means that everyone has the ability to automatically execute CI in their forks as part of the process of making changes. We ask that all non-trivial changes go through this process, so that the contributor gets immediate feedback, while at the same time keeping our CI fast and healthy for everyone.
The process requires only one additional step to enable Actions on your fork (clicking the green button in the actions tab). See the full video walkthrough for more details on how to do this.
Don't forget to include tests in your pull requests. Also don't forget the documentation (reference documentation, javadoc...).
Be sure to test your pull request in:
- Java mode
- Native mode
If you have not done so on this machine, you need to:
- Install Git and configure your GitHub access
- Install Java SDK (OpenJDK recommended)
- Install GraalVM
- Install platform C developer tools:
- Linux
- Make sure headers are available on your system (you'll hit 'Basic header file missing (<zlib.h>)' error if they aren't).
- On Fedora
sudo dnf install zlib-devel
- Otherwise
sudo apt-get install libz-dev
- On Fedora
- Make sure headers are available on your system (you'll hit 'Basic header file missing (<zlib.h>)' error if they aren't).
- macOS
xcode-select --install
- Linux
- Set
GRAALVM_HOME
to your GraalVM Home directory e.g./opt/graalvm
on Linux or$location/JDK/GraalVM/Contents/Home
on macOS
Docker is not strictly necessary: it is used to run the MariaDB and PostgreSQL tests which are not enabled by default. However it is a recommended install if you plan to work on Quarkus JPA support:
- Check the installation guide, and the MacOS installation guide
- If you just install docker, be sure that your current user can run a container (no root required). On Linux, check the post-installation guide
Quarkus has a strictly enforced code style. Code formatting is done by the Eclipse code formatter, using the config files
found in the independent-projects/ide-config
directory. By default when you run ./mvnw install
the code will be formatted automatically.
When submitting a pull request the CI build will fail if running the formatter results in any code changes, so it is
recommended that you always run a full Maven build before submitting a pull request.
If you want to run the formatting without doing a full build, you can run ./mvnw process-sources
.
Open the Preferences window, and then navigate to Java -> Code Style -> Formatter. Click Import and then
select the eclipse-format.xml
file in the independent-projects/ide-config
directory.
Next navigate to Java -> Code Style -> Organize Imports. Click Import and select the eclipse.importorder
file.
Open the Preferences window (or Settings depending on your edition) , navigate to Plugins and install the Eclipse Code Formatter Plugin from the Marketplace.
Restart your IDE, open the Preferences (or Settings) window again and navigate to Other Settings -> Eclipse Code Formatter.
Select Use the Eclipse Code Formatter, then change the Eclipse Java Formatter Config File to point to the
eclipse-format.xml
file in the independent-projects/ide-config
directory. Make sure the Optimize Imports box is ticked, and
select the eclipse.importorder
file as the import order config file.
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/quarkusio/quarkus.git
- Navigate to the directory:
cd quarkus
- Set Maven heap to 1.5GB
export MAVEN_OPTS="-Xmx1563m"
- Invoke
./mvnw -Dquickly
from the root directory
git clone https://github.com/quarkusio/quarkus.git
cd quarkus
export MAVEN_OPTS="-Xmx1563m"
./mvnw -Dquickly
# Wait... success!
This build skipped all the tests, native-image builds, documentation generation etc. and used the Maven goals clean install
by default.
For more details about -Dquickly
have a look at the quick-build
profile in quarkus-parent
(root pom.xml
).
Adding -DskipTests=false -DskipITs=false
enables the tests.
It will take much longer to build but will give you more guarantees on your code.
You can build and test native images in the integration tests supporting it by using ./mvnw install -Dnative
.
By default the build will use the native image server. This speeds up the build, but can cause problems due to the cache
not being invalidated correctly in some cases. To run a build with a new instance of the server you can use
./mvnw install -Dnative-image.new-server=true
.
Due to Quarkus being a large repository, having to rebuild the entire project every time a change is made isn't very productive. The following Maven tips can vastly speed up development when working on a specific extension.
Let's say you want to make changes to the Jackson
extension. This extension contains the deployment
, runtime
and spi
modules
which can all be built by executing following command:
./mvnw install -f extensions/jackson/
This command uses the path of the extension on the filesystem to identify it. Moreover, Maven will automatically build all modules in that path recursively.
Let's say you want to make changes to the deployment
module of the Jackson extension. There are two ways to accomplish this task as shown by the following commands:
./mvnw install -f extensions/jackson/deployment
or
./mvnw install --projects 'io.quarkus:quarkus-jackson-deployment'
In this command we use the groupId and artifactId of the module to identify it.
Often you need to run a single test from some Maven module. Say for example you want to run the GreetingResourceTest
of the resteasy-jackson
Quarkus integration test (which can be found here).
One way to accomplish this is by executing the following command:
./mvnw test -f integration-tests/resteasy-jackson/ -Dtest=GreetingResourceTest
After the build was successful, the artifacts are available in your local Maven repository.
To include them into your project a few things have to be changed.
pom.xml
<properties>
<quarkus-plugin.version>999-SNAPSHOT</quarkus-plugin.version>
<quarkus.platform.artifact-id>quarkus-bom</quarkus.platform.artifact-id>

Quarkus has a TCK module in tcks
where all the MicroProfile TCK's are set up for you to run if you wish. These
include tests to areas like Config, JWT Authentication, Fault Tolerance, Health Checks, Metrics, OpenAPI, OpenTracing,
REST Client, Reactive Messaging and Context Propagation.
The TCK module is not part of the main Maven reactor build, but you can enable it and run the TCK tests by activating
the Maven Profile -Ptcks
. If your work is related to any of these areas, running the TCK's is highly recommended to
make sure you are not breaking the project. The TCK's will also run on any Pull Request.
You can either run all of the TCK's or just a subset by executing mvn verify
in the tcks
module root or each of
the submodules. If you wish to run a particular test, you can use Maven -Dtest=
property with the fully qualified
name of the test class and optionally the method name by using
mvn verify -Dtest=fully.qualified.test.class.name#methodName
.
Quarkus uses Jacoco to generate test coverage. If you would like to generate the report run mvn install -Ptest-coverage
,
then change into the coverage-report
directory and run mvn package
. The code coverage report will be generated in
target/site/jacoco/
.
This currently does not work on Windows as it uses a shell script to copy all the classes and files into the code coverage module.
Extensions descriptions (in the runtime/pom.xml
description or in the YAML quarkus-extension.yaml
)
are used to describe the extension and are visible in https://code.quarkus.io.
Try and pay attention to it.
Here are a few recommendation guidelines:
- keep it relatively short so that no hover is required to read it
- describe the function over the technology
- use an action / verb to start the sentence
- do no conjugate the action verb (
Connect foo
, notConnects foo
norConnecting foo
) - connectors (JDBC / reactive) etc tend to start with Connect
- do not mention
Quarkus
- do not mention
extension
- avoid repeating the extension name
Bad examples and the corresponding good example:
- "AWS Lambda" (use "Write AWS Lambda functions")
- "Extension for building container images with Docker" (use "Build container images with Docker")
- "PostgreSQL database connector" (use "Connect to the PostgreSQL database via JDBC")
- "Asynchronous messaging for Reactive Streams" (use "Produce and consume messages and implement event driven and data streaming applications")
This project is an open source project, please act responsibly, be nice, polite and enjoy!
- The Maven build fails with
OutOfMemoryException
Set Maven options to use 1.5GB of heap: export MAVEN_OPTS="-Xmx1563m"
.
- IntelliJ fails to import Quarkus Maven project with
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded
In IntelliJ IDEA (version older than 2019.2
) if you see problems in the Maven view claiming java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded
that means the project import failed.
To fix the issue, you need to update the Maven importing settings:
Build, Execution, Deployment
> Build Tools
> Maven
> Importing
> VM options for importer
To import Quarkus you need to define the JVM Max Heap Size (E.g. -Xmx1g
)
Note As for now, we can't provide a unique Max Heap Size value. We have been reported to require from 768M to more than 3G to import Quarkus properly.
- Build hangs with DevMojoIT running infinitely
./mvnw clean install
# Wait...
[INFO] Tests run: 1, Failures: 0, Errors: 0, Skipped: 0, Time elapsed: 6.192 s - in io.quarkus.maven.it.GenerateConfigIT
[INFO] Running io.quarkus.maven.it.DevMojoIT
DevMojoIT require a few minutes to run but anything more than that is not expected. Make sure that nothing is running on 8080.
- The native integration test for my extension didn't run in the CI
In the interest of speeding up CI, the native build stage run_native_tests_stage
have been split into multiple steps.
This means that each new extension needs to be configured explicitly in azure-pipelines.yml
to have it's integration tests run in native mode
