Submitting patches
m2e team only accepts git-format-patch formatted patches attached to eclipse bugzilla. In most cases the following command generates needed patch format from the most recent commit in the git repository.
git format-patch -1
In addition to normal description of the change, the commit message must also include a statement that confirms that the contributor
- wrote 100% of the code;
- that they have the right to contribute the code to Eclipse;
- the file header contains the appropriate License
(see eclipse legal poster for reasons why we require this).
