gerrit-rest-java-client

Introduction

Java implementation of the Gerrit Code Review Tool REST API.

Only Gerrit 2.6 or newer is supported (missing / incomplete REST API in older versions).

This implementation is used for example as base for the Gerrit IntelliJ Plugin.

Many different authentication-methods are supported (HTTP basic, HTTP digest, LDAP with form, HTTP password from Gerrit setting, ...).

Usage

This library implements com.google.gerrit.extensions.api.GerritApi.

You just need a few lines to get it working:

GerritRestApiFactory gerritRestApiFactory = new GerritRestApiFactory();
GerritAuthData.Basic authData = new GerritAuthData.Basic("http://localhost:8080");
// or: authData = new GerritAuthData.Basic("https://example.com/gerrit", "user", "password");
GerritApi gerritApi = gerritRestApiFactory.create(authData);
List<ChangeInfo> changes = gerritApi.changes().query("status:merged").withLimit(10).get();

If you like to write a script instead of a full Java application, you might want to use Groovy. There is a basic Groovy example available.

Note: It is not guaranteed that all interfaces are implemented. If an implementation is missing, you get a com.google.gerrit.extensions.restapi.NotImplementedException. Feel free to implement it and create a pull request at GitHub - it is quite easy! :)

Note: The source of com.google.gerrit.extensions is included in this repository at the moment because not all extensions to this API are merged into Gerrit repository yet.

Maven Artifact

Releases are available with Maven:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.urswolfer.gerrit.client.rest</groupId>
    <artifactId>gerrit-rest-java-client</artifactId>
    <version>0.8.12</version>
</dependency>

Android Support

Apache HttpClient causes problems on Android platform. There is a workaround by using HttpClient for Android. Android support builds are not officially released, but you should be able to create your own build by using the httpclient-android branch. You probably want to merge master branch into this branch before building it.

Dependencies

This library depends on Apache HttpClient, Gson and Guava.
