Remove use of Java raw types

[cbosdo]

Project Title:

Remove the use of Java raw types

Description:

Uyuni is an open source systems management solution that can be used to manage various Linux distributions using a powerful web UI and API.

The Java code of Uyuni evolved over the years but still contains raw types uses. This project is about removing them all! This may sound an easy task, but this requires quite some code reading and patience to achieve it.

Here is a list of the reported uses: https://sonarcloud.io/project/issues?languages=java&rules=java%3AS3740&issueStatuses=OPEN%2CCONFIRMED&id=uyuni-project_uyuni

Deliverable:

• The code without the raw types.
• SonarCloud reporting no raw type use any more: https://sonarcloud.io/project/issues?languages=java&rules=java%3AS3740&issueStatuses=OPEN%2CCONFIRMED&id=uyuni-project_uyuni

Mentor:

• @cbosdo

Skills:

• Good Java knowledge.

Skill Level: Easy/Medium

Project Size: Small Sized Project (90 hours)

Get started:

• Join GitHub Discussions and chatrooms: uyuni-project/devel uyuni-project/users
• Get familiar with uyuni, especially with the Java code
• Set up a development Uyuni server VM, e.g. with sumaform

@ddemaio can you add the Uyuni label on this one?

Hi @cbosdo , I would like to take part in Gsoc by contributing to this issue in opensuse

Hey @cbosdo, can I pick this up?

[cbosdo]

Feel free to start addressing it. The ideal way to go on this big task is to go with a small PR after the other. Comment in the issue which error you are tackling so that others don't pick the same. Once the PR is ready move to the next.

@PrethamMuthappa negating others comments won't help being a nice community member. This task is a big one, you can all apply and we'll pick the one we expect to be the most suitable. This can also be tackled by multiple persons at a time as there are a lot of these errors to fix.

yep cool, mb

Hello @cbosdo, After going through the codebase of uyuni with the help of SonarCloud reported issues, I guess, I can work with this issue even if this is my first time open source contributer. looking forward for your responce.

Hi @cbosdo I'm interested in working on this task for GSoC.

[cbosdo]

Hey all! You can all start submitting a PR fixing one of the issues. Sometimes these have a longer tail too. Just mention in this issue which class you are fixing so that you don't step on each other's toes. This can be a nice thing to start your contribution.

Subject: Guidance on Setting Up Local VM and Running Java Tests for Uyuni

Hi @cbosdo,

I am interested in working on this project for GSoC 2025 and have been setting up the development environment. So far, I have:

• Installed openSUSE Leap 15.6 on WSL
• Installed and configured Sumaform
• Installed all dependencies required for the Uyuni project

I now need some guidance on setting up a local VM using Sumaform and running tests for the Java code in Uyuni. I am currently following the Java Development Environment guide, but I would appreciate any recommendations or additional resources on the next steps.

Additionally, I noticed that the openSUSE 101 website does not have a "More Details" section for project proposals. Could you provide guidance on how to submit draft proposals for feedback?

I am well-versed in Java and excited to contribute to this project. Looking forward to your advice!

Best regards,
Rohit Singh Bhojak

Hi @cbosdo,

I have fixed this issue by removing raw Java types and ensuring compliance with SonarQube rule S3740. I have also tested the changes locally using Sonar, and there are no remaining issues.

I am attaching a screenshot of the SonarQube results for reference. Could you please guide me on how to raise a PR for this? because only Contributors can raise PR.

Looking forward to your response.

Best regards,
Anushka Chaudhary

Hi @cbosdo I have another question, are github comments the only way to reach out to our mentors? Should I submit my draft proposal for review here?

I now need some guidance on setting up a local VM using Sumaform and running tests for the Java code in Uyuni. I am currently following the Java Development Environment guide, but I would appreciate any recommendations or additional resources on the next steps.

I would not recommend using Windows as you development platform: this is uncharted land for all the Uyuni developers. Better install openSUSE Leap 15.6 in a separate partition and use a dual boot.
Sumaform uses libvirt to create the KVM virtual machines... that probably doesn't work on WSL.

Additionally, I noticed that the openSUSE 101 website does not have a "More Details" section for project proposals. Could you provide guidance on how to submit draft proposals for feedback?

You can send them by email or use the Gitter channels for that.
