This plugin is built with Bazel.

Two build modes are supported: Standalone and in Gerrit tree. Standalone build mode is recommended, as this mode doesn't require local Gerrit tree to exist.

  bazel build @PLUGIN@

The output is created in

  bazel-bin/@PLUGIN@.jar

  bazel test //...

Build in Gerrit tree

To execute the tests run either one of:

  bazel test --test_tag_filters=@PLUGIN@ //...
  bazel test plugins/@PLUGIN@:@PLUGIN@_tests

This project can be imported into the Eclipse IDE. Add the plugin name to the CUSTOM_PLUGINS set in Gerrit core intools/bzl/plugins.bzl, and execute:
