Build

You can build ca-sim using Gradle, first you have to clone the repo:

git clone [email protected]:FiloSanza/ca-sim.git

You can then build it on linux or mac-os with:

cd ca-sim
./gradlew build

If you are on Windows you can use:

cd "ca-sim"
gradlew.bat build

The gradle scripts automatically executes additional checks using PMD, SpotBugs and CheckStyle, if you want to disable them you can run (on linux and mac-os):

./gradle build -x check       #to disable all the checks
./gradle build -x [checkName] #checkName can be checkstyle[Main|Test] spotbugs[Main|Test]

If you are on Windows you can use:

gradlew.bat build -x check       #to disable all the checks
gradlew.bat build -x [checkName] #checkName can be checkstyle[Main|Test] spotbugs[Main|Test]
