Introduction
The Eclipse wiki gives a good detailed overview of the various ways you can contribute to a project:
The typical contributor will go through the following steps:
- You use Scout, i.e. Download it, go through The Scout documentation has been moved to https://eclipsescout.github.io/., build your own Scout apps
- You will find bugs, or have ideas for your great feature.
- You provide some public feedback
- Read/ask questions on the Scout Scout Forum
- Report these bugs/enhancements via Scout bugzilla
- Eventually, you might want to speed up bug fixing by providing patches
- Getting enthusiastic enough, you will contribute many valuable, high quality patches for Scout bugs/enhancements
- Now is the time to start the committer election process :-)
Development IDE Configuration
Scout has Java 5.0 and Eclipse Platform 3.5 as minimum requirements, so dependencies to newer Java and platform versions must be avoided.
In order to minimize the inadvertent introduction of dependencies to Java 6.0, add both a Java5 and a Java 6 SDK to your workspace. Do this in Window/Preferences -> Java/Installed JREs. Then configure your Execution Environments so that J2SE-1.5 refer to a Java 5 SDK and JavaSE-1.6 refer to a Java 6 installation.
If you are using OS X Snow Leopard, then Java 5 is hard to find. Using the search button in Eclipse will tell you that you have a 1.5.0 version of Java. That is probably a lie. It is just a link to 1.6. Fortunately some nice guys have made a download that you may use. Follow these instructions to download and installl a real Java 5. You do not need to make it default. Downloading, unpacking and fixing the version links is enough.
Getting the Scout Sources
You may download the Eclipse Scout sources from eclipse.org
