New Contributions
Hi, welcome to the Eclipse Nebula project. We love new contributions. We aim to provide the Eclipse community with a rich set of rich UI compoments. So thank you for considering your contribution.
Introduce Yourself
If we don't know you, please take the time to introduce yourself to the Nebula mailing list. Be elaborate. Tell about your contributions, the bugs that you have filed, the patches that you committed. We need to know that you are a good Eclipse Citizen (Although this is not really necessary if you have a killer UI component to contribute ;).
You can subscribe to the mailing list by writing a mail to the mailing list administrator. How this is done is all explained on this page. Tell us what your plans are and what your UI component does. Then wait for the discussion. If nothing happens for a while: be patient and persistent. We love new contributions.
File a Bug
You will be instructed by one of the project leads to file a bug against Nebula core in bugzilla. Before you can do that, you need to get an Eclipse account. This can be done on the Bugzilla landing page. Once the account has been created you need to file a bug against Nebula Core.
Here are some example bugs of previous contributions:
- https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=328836
- https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=365948
You need to include the source code and additional resources like images and stuff like that (one or more plug-in projects) as an attachement. Only the code that you own and have the copyright. Each source member needs to have the standard EPL header like you see in every Eclipse source. Do not include any third party code. Do not include any zip files in the projects. Just your sources and other resources. You can include somoe additional information like links to the working product or links to screenshots.
In addition, You need to declare that:
- I authored 100% of the content
- I have the right to contribute the content to Eclipse
- I contribute the content under the EPL
Once you are ready, file the bug against Nebula/Core.
Assess
We will take a look at your code to assess the quality. If we have problems with it we will let you know on the bug. We will also do a preliminary check on any IP (Intelectual Property) issues. After this is done, one of the project leads will file a new bug in a separate Bugzilla system known as IPZilla. This bug is called a CQ (Contribution Questionnaire).
Here an automatic scanning of the source will take place. It will be examined on foul words, religious statements, terroristic information and all that. You will also need to declare that you have the rights to the code.
One of the Eclipse PMC members will do some magic and authorize the CQ. After this has been done, we have to wait on the Eclipse legal team to do a triage on the code and give their final OK.
Become a Committer
Roughly during the same time, you will be asked to become a Nebula committer. This is a process of the community and is in general a formality but you cannot have any votes against you. Once you are voted in, you will be provided with an Eclipse committer ID by the Webmaster_FAQ Eclipse Webmasters.
