Configuration

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 ID and API key in 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);
}
