The Black Duck Software CodeCenter SDK Libraries provide access to the SDK end-points available on Black Duck's CodeCenter product

The SDK libraries use Gradle for build operations (specifically, the Gradle wrapper, invoked via gradlew). The main build target of the SDK libraries is jar - this will generate clients and perform compilation steps

Instead of using Gradle's plug-ins to generate IDE-specific files, it is assumed that the IDE's Gradle plug-in will be used.

For example, Eclipse's Gradle Plug-in can be used to import the projects into an Eclipse environment

Contributions are pull request based. Contributors should fork the repository and create pull requests based on the master branch

• These libraries are based on Java 7 - all changes should be compatible with this language version
• Changes to APIs must be backwards compatible
• Changes in pull requests should be documented
• If any significant features are added, add tests where possible

The repository contains a master branch which contains tags for each release and any changes contributed. Releases will be based on what has been merged into the master branch

This project does not follow semantic versioning - version numbers are kept matching to the minimum compatible product version

New releases of the SDK libraries are created when a version of CodeCenter is released. The version number of the client/utility libraries is generally the minimum version of the associated product that release supports.
