• JDK 17+
• Lombok configured on IDE
  • http://ganeshtiwaridotcomdotnp.blogspot.com/2016/03/configuring-lombok-on-intellij.html
  • For eclipse, download the lombok jar, run it, and point to eclipse installation
• Maven
• Docker

It contains following applications:

• main-app
• email-service (optional)
• report-service (optional)
• trend-service (optional)
• content-checker (optional)

Option 1 - run with manually started ActiveMQ and MySQL servers

• Run mvn clean install at root
• Run docker-compose -f _config/docker-compose.yml up at root to start docker containers
• Go to main-app folder and run mvn to start the application

Option 2 - automatically start ActiveMQ and MySQL using TestContainer while application is starting

• Run mvn clean install at root
• Go to main-app folder and run mvn -Pdev,withTestContainer to start the application

Option 3 - run from IDE

• import into your IDE and compile the full project and run the Application.java on main-app module
• Update run configuration to run maven goal wro4j:run Before Launch. It should be after 'Build'

mvn clean verify

mvn compiler:testCompile resources:testResources surefire:test

mvn compiler:testCompile resources:testResources failsafe:integration-test

Run sonarqube server using docker docker run -e SONAR_ES_BOOTSTRAP_CHECKS_DISABLE=true -p 9000:9000 sonarqube:latest

Perform scan: mvn sonar:sonar mvn sonar:sonar -Dsonar.login=admin -Dsonar.password=admin

View Reports in SonarQube web ui:

• visit http://localhost:9000
• default login and password are admin, you will be asked to change password after logging in with default username/password
• (optional) change sonarqube admin password without logging in: curl -u admin:admin -X POST "http://localhost:9000/api/users/change_password?login=admin&previousPassword=admin&password=NEW_PASSWORD"
• if you change the password, make sure the update -Dsonar.password=admin when you run sonarqube next time

Owasp dependency check plugin is configured. Run mvn dependency-check:check to run scan and open dependency-check-report.html from target to see the report.

mvn -T 5 clean package

Once the application starts, open http://localhost:8081 on your browser. The default username/passwords are listed on : gt.app.Application.initData, which are:

• system/pass
• user1/pass
• user2/pass

• mvn versions:display-dependency-updates
• mvn versions:display-plugin-updates
