- <p>
- This page gives you some bookmarks to use the Bugzilla <a href="http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/">
- Apache Bug Database</a>.
- </p>
- <p>
- This link <a href="http://issues.apache.org/">issues.apache.org</a> connects you

- Has It Been Reported?
- </h4>
- <p>
- If the current nightly build doesn't resolve your problem, it is
- possible that someone else has reported the issue. It is time to
- look at . This system is easy to use, and it will
- let you search the <a href="http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&email1=&emailtype1=substring&emailassigned_to1=1&email2=&emailtype2=substring&emailreporter2=1&bugidtype=include&bug_id=&changedin=&votes=&chfieldfrom=&chfieldto=Now&chfieldvalue=&product=Ant&short_desc=&short_desc_type=substring&long_desc=&long_desc_type=substring&bug_file_loc=&bug_file_loc_type=substring&keywords=&keywords_type=anywords&field0-0-0=noop&type0-0-0=noop&value0-0-0=&order=bugs.bug_id">
- currently open</a> and resolved bugs to see if your problem has
- already been reported. If your problem has been reported, you can
- see whether any of the developers have commented, suggesting
- workarounds, or the reason for the bug, etc. Or you may have
- information to add (see about creating and modifying bug reports
- below), in which case, go right ahead and add the information.
- If you don't have any additional information, you may just want
- to vote for this bug, and perhaps
- add yourself to the <code>CC</code> list to follow the progress
- of this bug.

- <h4 class="subsection">
- <a name="Filing a Bug Report"></a>
- Filing a Bug Report
- </h4>
- <p>
- Please read our document about <a href="problems.html">problems</a>
- before deciding that there is an unreported
- bug in Ant.
- </p>
- <p>
- You have a few choices at this point. You can send
- an email to the <code>user</code> mailing list
- to see if
- others have encountered your issue and find out how they may
- have worked around it. If after some discussion, you feel it
- is time to create
- a bug report, this is a simple operation in the bug database.
- Please try to provide as much information as possible in order
- to assist the developers in resolving the bug. Please try to enter
- correct values for the various inputs when creating the bug, such
- as which version of Ant you are running, and on which platform,
- etc. Once the bug is created, you can also add attachments to
- the bug report.
- </p>
- <p>
- What information should you include in your bug report? The
- easiest bugs to fix are those that are most easily reproducible,
- so it is really helpful if you can produce a small test case that
- exhibits the problem. In this case, you would attach the build file
- and any other files necessary to reproduce the problem, probably
- packed together in an archive. If you can't produce a test case,
- you should try to include a snippet from your build file and the
- relevant sections from the verbose or debug output from Ant. Try
- to include the header information where Ant states the version,
- the OS and VM information, etc. As debug output is likely to be
- very large, it's best to remove any output that is not
- relevant. Once the bug is entered into the bug database, you
- will be kept informed by email about progress on the bug. If
- you receive email asking for further information, please try to
- respond, as it will aid in the resolution of your bug.
- </p>
- <p>
- To create the bug report hit this
- <a href="http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi?product=Ant">
- link</a>.
- </p>
- <h4 class="subsection">
- <a name="Asking for an Enhancement"></a>
- Asking for an Enhancement
- </h4>
- <p>
- Sometimes, you may find that Ant just doesn't do what you need it
- to. It isn't a bug, as such, since Ant is working the way it is
- supposed to work. Perhaps it is some additional functionality for
- a task that hasn't been thought of yet, or maybe a completely new
- task. For these situations, you will
- want to raise an <i>enhancement request</i>. Enhancement requests
- are managed using the same Apache Bug Database described above.
- These are just a different type of bug report. If you look in the
- bug database, you will see that one of the severity settings for
- a bug is "Enhancement". Just fill the bug report in,
- set the severity of the bug to "Enhancement", and
- state in the description how you would like to have Ant enhanced.
- Again, you should first check whether there are any existing
- enhancment requests that cover your needs. If so, just add your
- vote to these.
- </p>

-
- </p>
- <h4 class="subsection">
- <a name="Fixing the Bug"></a>
- Fixing the Bug
- </h4>
- <p>
- If you aren't satisfied with just filing a bug report, you can
- try to find the cause of the problem and provide a fix yourself.
- The best way to do that is by working with the latest code from Subversion.
- Alternatively, you can work with the source code available from the
- <a href="http://ant.apache.org/srcdownload.cgi">
- source distributions</a>. If you
- are going to tackle the problem at this level, you may want to
- discuss some details first on the <code>dev</code>
- mailing list. Once you have a fix for the problem, you may submit
- the fix as a <i>patch</i> to either the
- <code>dev</code> mailing
- list, or enter the bug database as described above and attach the
- patch to the bug report. Using the bug database has the advantage
- of being able to track the progress of your patch.
- </p>
- <p>
- If you have a patch to submit and are sending it to the
- <code>dev</code> mailing list,
- prefix "[PATCH]"
- to your message subject. Please include any relevant bug numbers.
- Patch files should be created with the <code>-u</code>
- option of the
- <code>diff</code> or <code>svn diff</code> command. For
- example:<br /><br />
- <font face="verdana" size="-1">
- diff -u Javac.java.orig Javac.java > javac.diffs<br /><br />
- </font>
- or, if you have source from Subversion:<br /><br />
- <font face="verdana" size="-1">
- svn diff Javac.java > javac.diffs<br /><br />
- </font>
-
- Note: You should give your patch files meaningful names.
- This makes it easier for developers who need to apply a number
- of different patch files.

+ Filing a Bug Report
+ </h4>
+ <p>
+ Please read our document about <a href="problems.html">problems</a>
+ before deciding that there is an unreported
+ bug in Ant.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ You have a few choices at this point. You can send
+ an email to the <code>user</code> mailing list
+ to see if
+ others have encountered your issue and find out how they may
+ have worked around it. If after some discussion, you feel it
+ is time to create
+ a bug report, this is a simple operation in the bug database.
+ Please try to provide as much information as possible in order
+ to assist the developers in resolving the bug. Please try to enter
+ correct values for the various inputs when creating the bug, such
+ as which version of Ant you are running, and on which platform,
+ etc. Once the bug is created, you can also add attachments to
+ the bug report.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ What information should you include in your bug report? The
+ easiest bugs to fix are those that are most easily reproducible,
+ so it is really helpful if you can produce a small test case that
+ exhibits the problem. In this case, you would attach the build file
+ and any other files necessary to reproduce the problem, probably
+ packed together in an archive. If you can't produce a test case,
+ you should try to include a snippet from your build file and the
+ relevant sections from the verbose or debug output from Ant. Try
+ to include the header information where Ant states the version,
+ the OS and VM information, etc. As debug output is likely to be
+ very large, it's best to remove any output that is not
+ relevant. Once the bug is entered into the bug database, you
+ will be kept informed by email about progress on the bug. If
+ you receive email asking for further information, please try to
+ respond, as it will aid in the resolution of your bug.
+ </p>

+ <a name="Asking for an Enhancement"></a>
+ Asking for an Enhancement
+ </h4>
+ <p>
+ Sometimes, you may find that Ant just doesn't do what you need it
+ to. It isn't a bug, as such, since Ant is working the way it is
+ supposed to work. Perhaps it is some additional functionality for
+ a task that hasn't been thought of yet, or maybe a completely new
+ task. For these situations, you will
+ want to raise an <i>enhancement request</i>. Enhancement requests
+ are managed using the same Apache Bug Database described above.
+ These are just a different type of bug report. If you look in the
+ bug database, you will see that one of the severity settings for
+ a bug is "Enhancement". Just fill the bug report in,
+ set the severity of the bug to "Enhancement", and
+ state in the description how you would like to have Ant enhanced.
+ Again, you should first check whether there are any existing
+ enhancment requests that cover your needs. If so, just add your
+ vote to these.

+ <a name="Fixing the Bug"></a>
+ Fixing the Bug
+ </h4>
+ <p>
+ If you aren't satisfied with just filing a bug report, you can
+ try to find the cause of the problem and provide a fix yourself.
+ The best way to do that is by working with the latest code from Subversion.
+ Alternatively, you can work with the source code available from the
+ <a href="http://ant.apache.org/srcdownload.cgi">
+ source distributions</a>. If you
+ are going to tackle the problem at this level, you may want to
+ discuss some details first on the <code>dev</code>
+ mailing list. Once you have a fix for the problem, you may submit
+ the fix as a <i>patch</i> to either the
+ <code>dev</code> mailing
+ list, or enter the bug database as described above and attach the
+ patch to the bug report. Using the bug database has the advantage
+ of being able to track the progress of your patch.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ If you have a patch to submit and are sending it to the
+ <code>dev</code> mailing list,
+ prefix "[PATCH]"
+ to your message subject. Please include any relevant bug numbers.
+ Patch files should be created with the <code>-u</code>
+ option of the
+ <code>diff</code> or <code>svn diff</code> command. For
+ example:<br /><br />
+ <font face="verdana" size="-1">
+ diff -u Javac.java.orig Javac.java > javac.diffs<br /><br />
+ </font>
+ or, if you have source from Subversion:<br /><br />
+ <font face="verdana" size="-1">
+ svn diff Javac.java > javac.diffs<br /><br />
+ </font>
+
+ Note: You should give your patch files meaningful names.
+ This makes it easier for developers who need to apply a number
+ of different patch files.
