Add javabrake to your Ivy dependencies:

<dependency org='io.airbrake' name='javabrake' rev='0.1.4'>
  <artifact name='javabrake' ext='pom'></artifact>
</dependency>

Step 2: Configuration

Copy this configuration snippet into your Java app.

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

import io.airbrake.javabrake.Notifier;

int projectId = <Your project ID>;
String projectKey = "<Your project API KEY>";
Notifier notifier = new Notifier(projectId, projectKey);

notifier.addFilter(
    (Notice notice) -> {
      notice.setContext("environment", "production");
      return notice;
    });

Example of reporting a caught exception:

try {
  do();
} catch (IOException e) {
  notifier.report(e);
}
