Bric is a cross-platform batch image editor. Its key features are convert, resize, rotate and add watermark to images and PDF files. Bric has a great strength in handling multiple file types for input and output.
Note: PDF files are handled as a sequence of images
The development started back in 2011 and the project was maintened for several years, gaining popularity on sourceforge. The original name was BIRSN and was quickly renamed to its current easier pronounceable name. As of 2020 the project is back in active (slow paced) development.

Tests are separated into two groups, the unit and the integration. Integration tests
Unit tests isolate single components from the system and test them one by one without having to access any external resources. They should be run frequently, to make sure that all the components run as expected during code interventions.
mvn clean test
Integration tests are testing the communication between components, to do that they utilize test resources such as test image and PDF files packaged into the project. Thus integration tests are much slower.
mvn clean integration-test
The whole project is using the default coding style by IntelliJ IDE.
