Have you found a bug or have an idea for a cool new feature? Contributing code is a great way to give something back to the open source community. Before you dig right into the code, there are a few guidelines that we need contributors to follow so that we can have a chance of keeping on top of things.
We accept Pull Requests via GitHub. The developer mailing list is the
main channel of communication for contributors.
There are some guidelines which will make applying PRs easier for us:
git diff --check
before committing.[#issue-numebr] - Subject of the issue
Optional supplemental description.
docs/src/site
and build it via mvn site -f docs
If you plan to contribute on a regular basis, please consider filing a contributor license agreement.
For changes of a trivial nature to comments and documentation, or other simple changes
it is not always necessary to create a new issue.
In this case, it is appropriate to skip the issue from a commit message.
