## Linting rules
30+
### Prerequisites
31+
- [Git](https://git-scm.com/downloads)
32+
- [Java](https://www.azul.com/downloads/zulu/)
33+
- [Maven](https://maven.apache.org/guides/getting-started/maven-in-five-minutes.html)

This project uses linting rules to enforce code standardization. These rules are specified in the file [bot-checkstyle.xml](./etc/bot-checkstyle.xml) with [CheckStyle](https://checkstyle.org/) and are hooked to Maven's build cycle.
36-
37-
**INFO**: Since the CheckStyle and PMD plugins are hooked into the build cycle, this makes the build **fail** in cases where there are linting warnings in the project files. Errors will be in the file ./target/checkstyle-result.xml and ./target/pmd.xml.

CheckStyle is available in different flavours:

### Build and test locally

Any IDE that can import and work with Maven projects should work. As a matter of practice we use the command line to perform Maven builds. If your IDE can be configured to defer build and run to Maven it should also work.

- We use the [Azul JDK 8](https://www.azul.com/downloads/azure-only/zulu/?version=java-8-lts&architecture=x86-64-bit&package=jdk) to build and test with. While not a requirement to develop the SDK with, it is recommended as this is what Azure is using for Java 1.8. If you do install this JDK, make sure your IDE is targeting that JVM, and your path (from command line) and JAVA_HOME point to that.
