TaskAdapter is a stand-alone application to transfer tasks between various bug tracking and project management systems, e.g. between Atlassian Jira, Redmine, Microsoft Project, etc. The app is implemented in Java language and requires a JVM (Java Virtual Machine) installed to run. It has a web UI module to support editing synchronization configs and start export process.

This chapter explains how to build and run the application from the source code, if you choose to do so. This may be useful if you want some customizations or if you want to submit a bugfix.

• Have Java Development Kit (JDK) version 14+ installed.
• have npm installed (sudo apt install npm)
• run the following command to disable Vaadin Gradle usage reporting (to avoid a failing NPM "integrity" check):

    npm explore @vaadin/vaadin-usage-statistics -- npm run disable

1. Run ./gradlew vaadinPrepareFrontend command in the project folder, to configure Vaadin for npm mode.
2. Import the project into your IDE (say, Intellij IDEA). You can open "build.gradle" file in the project root folder.
3. Run/Debug the TADevLauncher class as an application (run the main() method). The app will use npm to download all javascript libraries (will take a long time) and will start in development mode.
4. Optionally, add the following parameter to TADevLauncher run configuration arguments list:

• --openTaskAdapterPageInWebBrowser

this will open a web browser on app start.

Run this in the project root folder:

    ./gradlew clean build -Pvaadin.productionMode -ProllbarApiTokenProperty=<token_here>

Note - the rollbar Api property is optional. If not provided, the app will skip Rollbar error reporting.

This command will create a ZIP file in webui/build/distributions folder. Unpack the ZIP anywhere, run bin/taskadapter script. It will automatically open TA URL in browser when the web app is ready.
