Setup Airbrake for your Java application

[fjavier]

Step 1: Install

Install option 1: Maven

Add the javabrake dependency through your IDE or directly to your pom.xml file:

<dependency>
 <groupId>io.airbrake</groupId>
 <artifactId>javabrake</artifactId>
 <version>0.1.6</version>
</dependency>

Install option 2: Gradle

Add javabrake to your Gradle dependencies:

compile 'io.airbrake:javabrake:0.1.6'

Install option 3: Ivy

Add javabrake to your Ivy dependencies:

<dependency org='io.airbrake' name='javabrake' rev='0.1.6'>
 <artifact name='javabrake' ext='pom'></artifact>
</dependency>

Step 2: Configure

Import the javabrake library and copy the three configuration lines into your
app to send all uncaught exceptions to Airbrake:

(You can find your project API KEY with your project's settings)

// Import the library:
import io.airbrake.javabrake.Notifier;

public class ExampleApp {
 public static void main(String[] args) {

 // Copy configuration lines:
 int projectId = <Your project ID>;
 String projectKey = "<Your project API KEY>";
 Notifier notifier = new Notifier(projectId, projectKey);
 
 }
}

Example of reporting a caught exception:

try {
 int i = 1/0;
} catch (ArithmeticException e) {
 notifier.report(e);
}
