Java: Update local dev instructions to note jq dependency

Created on 5 Sep 2017  路  4Comments  路  Source: exercism/java

When I try to run the journey test locally, it fails because I don't have jq installed.

My guess is that this used to be installed automatically, and that this is no longer true since the test restructuring (cc @Smarticles101 for verification).

We should update the CONTRIBUTING.md file in light of this change.

afaik jq still needed to be installed before running the journey test before all the changes came.

Ah, I must have removed it inadvertently then! Still a worthy documentation add in that case :)

Hey, I'm new to the world of contributing to OSS. Would you like me to make an edit to the CONTRIBUTING.md file to include the instructions that jq & ruby need to be installed for a local setup?

Hi, thanks for wanting to contribute to open source! :)

Yes, it would be great if you could add something saying jq and ruby need to be installed for a complete local setup (in the complete local setup section of the CONTRIBUTING.md document) :) Does that make sense? Let me know if you have any more questions! :)
