Hi Lakshman,

The wiki contains a lot of information on how to get involved in the
development of Derby. It spread across a few pages, but I think most of
the information should be accessible from this page and the pages linked
from it:

http://wiki.apache.org/db-derby/DerbyDev

Welcome to the Apache Derby community! :)

Welcome Lakshman,

I usually recommend folks start by doing the Derby tutorial, just to 
become familiar with the product and its capabilities.

http://db.apache.org/derby/quick_start.html

And then start from the Get Involved page:
http://db.apache.org/derby/derby_comm.html
Build and test Derby trunk without any changes:
http://db.apache.org/derby/dev/derby_source.html

Also Tiago created a very good screencast for setting up  your build and 
test environment with eclipse.

I think some of the pages are quite dated, so as you go through the 
process, it would be great if you could make notes on improvements from 
the new developer perspective and  then one of your first patches could 
be to update the web pages. You can update the wiki pages directly 
without a patch.

In Jira there are issues that are marked "Newcomer" which are great 
first tasks.  Please let us know if you would like assistance picking a 
first task given your particular interest.

Again Welcome!
