Contrast Maven Plugin

This repository has been archived

The Contrast Maven Plugin source code has been moved to the Contrast-SDK-Java repository

Maven plugin for including Contrast security analysis in Java web applications

See usage to get started

Available on Maven Central

Building

Requires JDK 21 to build.

Tests require JDK 11 and 17 to be set-up in Maven Toolchains and requires that Maven be on the PATH.

Use ./mvnw verify to build and test changes to the project

Formatting

To avoid distracting white space changes in pull requests and wasteful bickering about format preferences, Contrast uses the google-java-format opinionated Java code formatter to automatically format all code to a common specification.

Developers are expected to configure their editors to automatically apply this format (plugins exist for both IDEA and Eclipse). Alternatively, developers can apply the formatting before committing changes using the Maven plugin:

./mvnw spotless:apply

End-to-End Testing

By default, the integration tests simulate the Contrast API using a stub web server. Developers can change this behavior to test with an actual Contrast instance instead of the stub.

First, configure your environment with standard Contrast connection environment variables.

export CONTRAST__API__URL=https://app.contrastsecurity.com/Contrast/api
export CONTRAST__API__USER_NAME=<your-user-name>
export CONTRAST__API__API_KEY=<your-api-key>
export CONTRAST__API__SERVICE_KEY=<your-service-key>
export CONTRAST__API__ORGANIZATION_ID=<your-organization-id>

You may find it useful to store the environment variable configuration in a file so that you can easily include it in your environment

source ~/contrast.env

Having configured the environment, you can run the integration tests with the end-to-end-test profile active:

./mvnw -Pend-to-end-test verify

When you are finished testing, you may want to remove the variables from the environment. In a POSIX shell, the script unset-contrast.env can take care of this:

source unset-contrast.env
