Looking for something to do?
Many of you are interested in helping out and are looking for a little
direction. I am desperate to get some help in making some unit tests.
Let me extol the virtues of writing unit tests and assure you that you will
not be painting a white picket fence. Unit tests are, obviously, a critical
part of any project; I initially judge the quality of a project by the
amount of unit tests written for it. They are a great way to provide focus
on learning JSRs and other new technologies; while reading dry specs does
build character, writing the unit tests will deepen your real understanding
of the spec. Writing good unit tests can be almost as challenging as
developing the actual product.
If you are interested in helping me out w/ the JSR 115 and some other things
I'm working on, please contact me at adc@toolazydogs.com. I'll help you in
getting started and answer the myriad of questions that are sure to follow.
Regards,
Alan

Yes. Most IDE's these days can create the patch for you. If not here's
instructions using the command line...

Alan,
I am willing to help write unit tests and fix bugs for JSR 115. I just joined
the mailing list yesterday. I have managed to download and build geronimo using
maven. I even have a patch ready for the warning message Jetty displays when
starting up.
However, as a newbie I do have some questions around the whole development process.
1. Does running '$> maven site' in the incubator-geronimo folder execute all of
the test cases?
2. Is the patch process:
* Create a issue in the jira with a description: [PATCH] <issue description>
* Download the latest version from CVS and apply changes
* Diff my version with the latest CVS version
* Attach the patch to the jira issue.
Thanks,
Eric W.
(I noticed there is already one Eric contributing to the list)

Agreed.
Also looking at the clover test coverage reports gives folks a good
idea of where the holes are in the testing.

Though lets try keep discussions on the mail list where possible.
