Build Tools Study

A Quantitative Study of Java Software Buildability

This repository contains scripts and other materials about a study of Java software buildability, published in the PLATEU 2016 paper.

To execute build processes, pull the Docker image and run it:

docker run -itv /directory/with/results:/root/build quay.io/sulir/builds:2016 10000

The last argument (10000) represents the number of projects.

To process the results, download the scripts and run:

./results.sh /directory/with/results/

Both unprocessed and processed CSV result files are also available for download.

In 2020, we published a data descriptor paper containing also newer data: Large-Scale Dataset of Local Java Software Build Results.
