Build Pulsar
Requirements:
- Java 8 JDK (for building Pulsar)
- When building Pulsar on a higher version (higher than Java 8), the resulting artifacts are not compatible with Java 8 runtime because of some issues, such as issue 8445.
- Maven 3.6.1+
Compile and install:
$ mvn install -DskipTests
Minimal build (This skips most of external connectors and tiered storage handlers)
mvn install -Pcore-modules
Run Unit Tests:
$ mvn test
Run Individual Unit Test:
$ cd module-name (e.g: pulsar-client)
$ mvn test -Dtest=unit-test-name (e.g: ConsumerBuilderImplTest)
Run Selected Test packages:
$ cd module-name (e.g: pulsar-broker)
$ mvn test -pl module-name -Dinclude=org/apache/pulsar/**/*.java
Start standalone Pulsar service:
$ bin/pulsar standalone

Setting up your IDE
Apache Pulsar is using lombok so you have to ensure your IDE setup with required plugins.
Intellij
Configure annotation processing in IntelliJ
-
Open Annotation Processors Settings dialog box by going to
Settings -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Compiler -> Annotation Processors
. -
Select the following buttons:
- "Enable annotation processing"
- "Obtain processors from project classpath"
- "Store generated sources relative to: Module content root"
-
Set the generated source directories to be equal to the Maven directories:
- Set "Production sources directory:" to "target/generated-sources/annotations".
- Set "Test sources directory:" to "target/generated-test-sources/test-annotations".
-
Click "OK".
-
Install the lombok plugin in intellij.
Further configuration in IntelliJ
-
When working on the Pulsar core modules in IntelliJ, reduce the number of active projects in IntelliJ to speed up IDE actions and reduce unrelated IDE warnings.
- In IntelliJ's Maven UI's tree view under "Profiles"
- Activate "core-modules" Maven profile
- De-activate "main" Maven profile
- Run the "Reload All Maven Projects" action from the Maven UI toolbar. You can also find the action by the name in the IntelliJ "Search Everywhere" window that gets activated by pressing the Shift key twice.
- In IntelliJ's Maven UI's tree view under "Profiles"
-
Run the "Generate Sources and Update Folders For All Projects" action from the Maven UI toolbar. You can also find the action by the name in the IntelliJ "Search Everywhere" window that gets activated by pressing the Shift key twice. Running the action takes about 10 minutes for all projects. This is faster when the "core-modules" profile is the only active profile.
IntelliJ usage tips
-
In the case of compilation errors with missing Protobuf classes, ensure to run the "Generate Sources and Update Folders For All Projects" action.
-
All of the Pulsar source code doesn't compile properly in IntelliJ and there are compilation errors.
- Use the "core-modules" profile if working on the Pulsar core modules since the source code for those modules can be compiled in IntelliJ.
- Sometimes it might help to mark a specific project ignored in IntelliJ Maven UI by right-clicking the project name and select Ignore Projects from the menu.
- Currently, it is not always possible to run unit tests directly from the IDE because of the compilation issues. As a workaround, individual test classes can be run by using the
mvn test -Dtest=TestClassName
command.
