OpenEJB Contributor

[Lamine Bourib <la...@yahoo.com>]

Hello openEjb community,

I'd like to contribute to the openEjb community as a Java developer.
How can I start and  in what projects can I participate?

Some words to my experiences Java, J2EE, J2SE, J2ME, JDBC, JNDI, EJB, JMS, Ant, Maven, OSGI, RMI, JUnit, RCP, JSP, Servlet, Php, c/c++, Webservice, Grails, Html, Xml, Owl, Rdf, JavaScript, Java Reasoner, Spring and hibernate.

I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

sincerely yours
Lamine Bourib

Hi Lamine...

    I agree totally with Jacek. But if you want to go into the code
right away, I suggest this task for you

    https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENEJB-453

This issue is not so complicated and it will require you to read the
specs which is very good at this stage. I myself away from OpenEJB
development for a while and when I am back I will work on this issue
too for the same reason.

Just few advices on how to work on an issue:

1- Read and understand the issues.
2- When you find an issue that you want to work on, send an e-mail on
dev-list asking to be assigned to you.
3- Start working on the issue.
4- Make a patch.
5- Attach the patch to the issue on JIRA.
6- Send review request on dev-list.
7- Reviewer will commit your changes with a thank you :).

Have fun ;)

Hi Lamine,

Welcome! Although I've been working for OpenEJB for quite a long time
I can't stop making pretty long pauses and whenever I'm back I'm sure
I'm in the same position as you're now - looking around for stuff to
work on. I used to start with running the latest version of openejb
and checking out the available docs at http://openejb.apache.org.
After a couple of hours, if I'm lucky enough, I come across some
issues I report in JIRA (search for it at the website - it's your
first task :)). If I'm not, I'm looking for small tasks in OpenEJB
JIRA and taking one as an exercise. If JIRA is not very friendly to
me, I'm writing junit tests (after generating code coverage reports
with mvn). After a couple of days, I'm doing it again or going for
other greener pastures :) How does it sound?

Jacek
