Users: Contributing To A ProjectQuick Start -- Contributing Project Code Interested in contributing code. Awesome! This is how to get started.How To Behave Practical advice on how to ask questions, report bugs, and be generally successful in your interactions with an Open Source Project.Reporting Bugs. All Eclipse projects use Bugzilla to track bugs and features. Please read the Bug Reporting FAQ and then sign up for a bugzilla account to join in the fun. Getting Answers. Mailing lists are for development team conversations; newsgroups and IRC are for the larger user and adopter community and thus are the correct place to ask for help. Downloads. Get binaries from the main downloads page. Click through to the project pages for integration, milestone, and nightly builds. Source Code. Get the source code from Git. Contribute! The best way to contribute to a project is to contribute (sorry for the recursion). Pick a bug from a project that interests you, build a fix, and contribute it to the bug as a patch. If you're not sure how to start, ask questions on the bug, or communicate with the project via their communication channel (normally a forum).IP Due Diligence for Contributions. Certain processes must be followed. Dotting the i's and crossing the t's. It all starts with the Intellectual Property content in the handbook, but there's a little something more (or less) for projects that use Git or Gerrit. Project Leads should be familiar with the list of approved (and unapproved) Third Party Content LicensesContributing via Git.

The Standard Project Charter's Committers section has some information. The Eclipse Development Process document's section on Committers and Contributors has more. Project Management Infrastructure Use the project management infrastructure to manage information about your project, including project descriptions, releases, reviews, and more.Reaching out. Talking to other committers, requesting assistance, channels for communication. Community Development Developing a community and Eco-system around your project is every committer's job. APIs See Eclipse/API_Central. The Eclipse Project also provides some API Resources.Words of Wisdom and Bits of Advice. Things that Eclipse Project leads and committers need, and should, be doing on a regular basis (daily/weekly/weekly/quarterly/etc). Coding Guidelines. Coding standards, naming conventions, version numbering, etc. Difficult People.

Some money is available from the Eclipse Foundation to help your project pay for meeting space, hardware, and other expenses (sorry, we can't pay committers). How to Use the Eclipse Copyright Tool. The Eclipse Project's Releng Tools plug-in provides--among other things--a handy tool that can help you get your copyright headers right.Intellectual Property ManagementCartoons. Quick reference guides in a fun and easy format: The IP Process in Eight Cartoons and The Three Laws of Eclipse. Handling Git Contributions.

Special considerations for libraries that are not strictly distributed by the project, but rather are as build and test time.Committers and The Eclipse.Org Website/projects - List of Projects. Your project is listed on the projects page automatically based on your project's metadata (see below). Standard Project Summary. Your project has a standard format project summary page (e.g., Project Dash). The summary page is driven by your project's metadata. Standard Project Plan. Your project has a standard format project plan page (e.g., [1] for Project Dash). The project plan page is driven by your project's metadata (see below) and has an entire page of documentation Development Resources/Project Plan. IP Log. Your project has a standard format IP log (e.g., Project Dash). The Automatic IP Log Generator is driven by your project's metadata.Project Metadata. Many pieces of the eclipse.org infrastructure are driven by the project metadata, thus it is important to keep the metadata current and correct. This includes basic information about projects including description, scope, and repositories; releases; reviews; and more.IT Infrastructure. Here is a general howto on using our IT infrastructure. More information is also available on the Webmaster FAQ. Bugzilla Builds Downloads IT Service Level AgreementBuilding and Maintaining a Project Website. Eclipse project website development, code-named Phoenix, has documentation on building sites with the Phoenix API. Alternatively, you can opt to use the automatically-generated Data-Driven Project Website.External Links. Links to non-eclipse.org contentNew CommittersLegal Paperwork. Becoming a new committer involves some legal paperwork. Here's what and why [2] Development Process. For the overall smooth flow of the Eclipse eco-system, committers agree to follow a few process rules. Here's what they are [3]. There's also a more humorous summary version [4]. Parallel IP Process. Many new committers join with a block of code that they'd like to include right away. The Parallel IP process is designed to speed that inclusion. Here's the what, why, and how of that process [5].Leads: Managing A ProjectEclipse Development Process (EDP) Official description of the meta-process for Eclipse projects. IP log Your project must maintain an IP Log. This document keeps track of third-party libraries used and distributed by the project, contributions, and more. It is especially important for adopters who need to know where the intellectual property of your project comes from. You are required to provide an IP Log prior to a release review. We encourage you to keep your IP log current rather than rushing at the end. The automatic IP log extracts most information from bugzilla and IPzilla, but it requires you to use the 'iplog+' flag. Project Plan The project plan is how projects communicate their future intent to the rest of the Eclipse community. Builds You have some options with regard to how you build your Eclipse project for distribution. Code quality analysisSonar is available for Eclipse projects to track and improve the quality of their code.Reviews Reviews are undertaken a key points in the life of a project. Project leads should coordinate reviews with their PMC and the EMO. Creation Review Release Cycle and Release Review Graduation Review Restructuring Review Termination ReviewManage Project Metadata, Bugzilla Components, etc. Project metadata is captured in the Project Management Interface (PMI), which feeds the project information pages and other tools. In the metadata, you specify important information like release dates, project plans, and description. Many project-related tools are accessible from here; additional tools (e.g. Bugzilla configuration) are available to committers via their Eclipse Foundation Account page.About Files and Copyright Notices. There's the official guide to legal documentation and then there's a slightly different, but perhaps more readable, guide to legal documentation from the developers point of view. More directly, there's the Default Eclipse Foundation Copyright and License Notice page.Releases. Of course the whole point of an Eclipse project is to release code to the community. At the same time, the Eclipse community relies on a well-defined release review process. It's relatively simple, but it does require planning ahead to schedule the necessary legal and community reviews.TCK Access Information regarding Technology Compatibility Kit (TCK) use by Eclipse Projects.Handling Git Contributions. Contributions from Git outside Git repositories are subject to our IP Policy and Due Diligence Process. Changing Leadership Electing new Project Leads and retiring the used up ones.Nominating and Electing New Committers. Use the PMI to nominate and elect new committers. Please follow the nomination guidelines so that the elections are relevant for the whole community. Removing Inactive Committers. Project leads can visit the "Who's Involved" tab of the Project Page, click on a committer, and use the "Retire Committer Status" box to retire a committer.Press Releases. The Eclipse Foundation's marketing department would like to help you put out your project-related press releases; the guidelines are simple enough [6]. Creating and Managing Mailing Lists and Newsgroups Newsgroups are used by most projects to communicate with their community. Mailing lists tend to be used for communication amongst project developers (committers and contributors). Contact Webmaster to create and manage newsgroups and mailing lists.Team calls You can request a dedicated Asterisk conference call line for your project.New Project LeadsSufficient Community. What does it mean to have a project mature enough to graduate?
