You can propose contributions by sending pull requests through GitHub.
And of course you can report issues and browse the current ones.
Please read the Eclipse Foundation policy on accepting contributions via Git.
Your contribution cannot be accepted unless you have an Eclipse Foundation Contributor License Agreement in place.
Here is the checklist for contributions to be acceptable:
- create an account at Eclipse, and
- add your GitHub user name in your account settings, and
- log into the projects portal and look for "Eclipse CLA", and
- ensure that you sign-off your Git commits, and
- ensure that you use the same email address as your Eclipse Foundation in commits.
Please make sure your code compiles by running mvn clean verify which will
execute both unit and integration test phases. Additionally, consider using
http://travis-ci.org to validate your branches before you even put them into
pull requests. All pull requests will be validated by Travis-ci in any case
and must pass before being merged.
Again, check that your author email in commits is the same as your GitHub account, and make sure that you sign-off every commit (git commit -s).
Do not make pull requests from your master branch, please use topic branches
instead.
When submitting code, please make every effort to follow existing conventions and style in order to keep the code as readable as possible.
Please provide meaningful commit messages.
Do not forget to mention the related Eclipse Bugzilla issue, if any.
Finally, a contribution is not a good contribution unless it comes with unit tests, integration tests and documentation.
Please, consider Coding Style for the different languages used in the codebase as described here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Developer_guide/Coding_Style
