Want to contribute code to an Eclipse project? Awesome!

This is what you'll need to know from the Eclipse Foundation's perspective


You must be familiar with the following documents. These are the principle guiding documents:


Main Points

  • All Eclipse projects must abide by the EDP and IP Due Diligence processes.
  • Contributors must sign the Eclipse CLA [1].
  • Contributors must sign-off on their contributions via the Certificate of Origin (CoO) [2].
  • Code contributions > 250 lines of code require a Contribution Questionnaire (CQ) to be filed [3].
