You have found a bug or you 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.



Getting Started

---------------



+ Make sure you have a [JIRA account](https://issues.apache.org/jira/).

+ Make sure you have a [GitHub account](https://github.com/signup/free).

+ If you're planning to implement a new feature, it makes sense to discuss your changes 

  on the [dev list][ml-list] first. 

  This way you can make sure you're not wasting your time on something that isn't 

  considered to be in Apache Maven's scope.

+ Submit a ticket for your issue, assuming one does not already exist.

  + Clearly describe the issue, including steps to reproduce when it is a bug.

  + Make sure you fill in the earliest version that you know has the issue.

+ Fork the repository on GitHub.



Making and Submitting Changes

--------------



We accept Pull Requests via GitHub. The [developer mailing list][ml-list] is the

main channel of communication for contributors.  

There are some guidelines which will make applying PRs easier for us:

+ Create a topic branch from where you want to base your work (this is usually the master branch).

  Push your changes to a topic branch in your fork of the repository.

+ Make commits of logical units.

+ Respect the original code style: by using the same [codestyle][code-style],

  patches should only highlight the actual difference, not being disturbed by any formatting issues:

  + Only use spaces for indentation.

  + Create minimal diffs - disable on save actions like reformat source code or organize imports. 

    If you feel the source code should be reformatted, create a separate PR for this change.

  + Check for unnecessary whitespace with `git diff --check` before committing.

+ Make sure your commit messages are in the proper format. Your commit message should contain the key of the JIRA issue.

```

[MCHECKSTYLE-XXX] - Subject of the JIRA Ticket

 Optional supplemental description.

```

+ Make sure you have added the necessary tests (JUnit/IT) for your changes.

+ Run all the tests with `mvn -Prun-its verify` to assure nothing else was accidentally broken.

+ Submit a pull request to the repository in the Apache organization.

+ Update your JIRA ticket and include a link to the pull request in the ticket.



If you plan to contribute on a regular basis, please consider filing a [contributor license agreement][cla].



Making Trivial Changes

----------------------



For changes of a trivial nature to comments and documentation, it is not always

necessary to create a new ticket in JIRA.  In this case, it is appropriate to

start the first line of a commit with '(doc)' instead of a ticket number.
