Triage

Categorization
Real
The bug is real and is one we intend on fixing in the milestone specific. Although we cannot promise to address it in this timeframe this is our intention.
Status: ASSIGNED Milestone: something reasonable
Real No Time
The bug is real but we do not have the time to address it. We would entertain patches for these issues.
Status: ASSIGNED Milestone: no milestone Keywords: helpwanted if appropriate
Real Not A Priority
The bug is real but we do not feel it's that important. We would entertain patches for these issues.
Status: ASSIGNED Keywords: helpwanted if appropriate Priority: P5
Not Real
The bug is not valid. We will not address it further. If it's a bug regarding established behaviour we do not wish to change mark as WONTFIX. If it's simply not a problem as described in the report use INVALID.
Status: WONTFIX or INVALID
Accepting Patches From The Community
The following steps should be taken when committing patches from members of the community who are not committers on the Eclipse top-level project.
- examine the patch and apply if it's deemed acceptable
- ensure that the bug is assigned to yourself
- ensure that the bug has the "contributed" keyword
- mark the bug as fixed and include in the comment "patch applied"
