Building from source

Once the jar is created, you can update the one in the Datadog Agent repo.

Coding standards

JMXFetch uses Checkstyle with Google Java Style to enforce coding standards.

To perform a Checkstyle analysis and outputs violations, run:

mvn checkstyle::check

Checkstyle analysis is automatically executed prior to compiling the code, testing.

Generated code
