Thanks for your interest in this project!
You can propose contributions by sending pull requests through GitHub.
And of course you can report issues.
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.
Again, check that your author email in commits is the same as your Eclipse Foundation 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 our coding guidelines in order to keep the code as homogeneous as possible.
Please provide meaningful commit messages.
Here is a sample good Git commit log message:
