Workspace Tools

We recognize that there are different ways to set up a workspace and different tools that may be chosen.

Java

Download the latest Java 8 SE Development Kit from Oracle.   Select a Linux x64 package.

Unpack it.

Maven

Download an Apache Maven 3.3.9 binary.  NOTE: 3.3.9 is the recommended version, even though much higher versions are available.

Unpack it.

Eclipse

Download Eclipse for Linux.  Select the 64-bit Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers.  Oxygen seems to be the latest version. These instructions were written for Neon.

Unpack it.

If you are behind a corporate firewall, set proxy environment variables needed in the next step by add-apt-repository:

export http_proxy="http://proxyhost:port"

export https_proxy="http://proxyhost:port"

Set up repository so you can get Oracle's JDK:

sudo apt install python-software-properties

sudo -E add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java

sudo apt update

Create an SSH key to user with gerrit.  Use no passphrase.

ssh-keygen -t rsa

Enter your SSH public key (id_rsa) into gerrit:

Browse to https://gerrit.onap.org

Log in

Open the menu next to your name (under the green search button)

Select "Settings"

In the "Settings" sidebar, click "SSH Public Keys"`

Click "Add Key..."

Paste the entire contents of $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa.pub into the text area and click "Add".

Install the git-review package.

sudo apt update

sudo apt install git-review

Create $HOME/.gitconfig (replace highlighted values with your own information):

[user]
        name = FirstName LastName
        email = you@yourcompany.com
[core]
        autocrlf = false
[merge]
        tool = vimdiff
[gitreview]
        username = YourLinuxFoundationId

If you're behind a corporate firewall and your proxy server has SOCKS support...

You may be able to use the SSH protocol with git, which is preferred versus HTTP.  This method is known to work in the AT&T corporate network.

Install the socat package, which allows you to tunnel SSH connections through a proxy that supports SOCKS:

sudo apt update

sudo apt install socat

Create (or append to) $HOME/.ssh/config (replace highlighted values with your information)

Host gerrit.onap.org
User userid
Hostname gerrit.onap.org
ProxyCommand socat - PROXY:host:%h:%p,proxyport=port
IdentityFile /home/userid/.ssh/id_rsa
ServerAliveInterval 10

Verify that you have connectivity to gerrit through the proxy.  Answer "yes" to continue connecting, if prompted.

ssh -p 29418 gerrit.onap.org

If you're behind a corporate firewall and you need to use HTTPS...
