Get Involved

  • Check out the source from Subversion/SVN
  • Mailing lists provide a simple and effective communication mechanism. You are welcome to join any of our mailing lists (or all of them if you wish). You can choose to lurk, or actively participate.
  • Issue Tracking - best practice when creating tickets is to enter e-mail addresses of all persons possibly involved with the issue in the ticket's CC field. The respective people will get e-mail notifications upon ticket changes. Discussions can take place as a sequence of ticket comments this way.
  • ProgrammingGuidelines: Read them before you start programming and before committing code. They are similar to any other java-based open-source project.
  • EclipseDevelopment: Read when you are ready to start programming (after reading the ProgrammingGuidelines)
