# Contributing
Pull requests for bug fixes are always welcome!
Before submitting new features or changes to current functionality, it is recommended to first
[open an issue](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-java-instrumentation/issues/new)
and discuss your ideas or propose the changes you wish to make.
## Building
In order to build and test this whole repository you need JDK 17 or higher.
Some instrumentations and tests may put constraints on which java versions they support.
See [Running the tests](./docs/contributing/running-tests.md) for more details.
### Snapshot builds
For developers testing code changes before a release is complete, there are
snapshot builds of the `main` branch. They are available from
the Sonatype OSS snapshots repository at `https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/`
([browse](https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/io/opentelemetry/))
### Building from source
Build using Java 17+:
```bash
java -version
```
```bash
./gradlew assemble
```
and then you can find the java agent artifact at
`javaagent/build/libs/opentelemetry-javaagent-<version>.jar`.
To simplify local development, you can remove the version number from the build product. This allows
the file name to stay consistent across versions. To do so, add the following to
`~/.gradle/gradle.properties`.
```properties
removeJarVersionNumbers=true
```

## Troubleshooting PR build failures
The build logs are very long and there is a lot of parallelization, so the logs can be hard to
decipher, but if you scroll to the bottom you should see something like:
```
Publishing build scan...
https://gradle.com/s/ila4qwp5lcf5s
```
Opening the build scan link can sometimes take several seconds (it's a large build), but it
typically makes it a lot clearer what's failing.
