Hello All,

My OCA has been processed and I'm now an OpenJDK contributor(?).
I'm not sure if there's anything else I need to do to begin contributing -
I am unable to access the OpenJDK bug system (
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/secure/Dashboard.jspa) with my mailing list
credentials.
I know that there's the adoption-discuss mailing list - I will try sending
out an email to that list for next steps.

I have a BS in physics and an MS in computer science.
I've been in the industry for six years working as a software engineer.
I've worked at several companies all of which have supported web apps built
with some Java tech stack variant. I've written in Java 6-8 and absolutely
love java 8's shift to a more functional paradigm.

I'm extremely excited to be collaborating with everyone on the one project
that matters the most to us developers. I would be happy to take on any
task, small or big.

Thank you,
George Ayvazian

Hi George,

Welcome to OpenJDK!

The Bug database is still currently restricted (basically to avoid the
flood from the millions of Java developers), but can you at least see the
issues listed there?.  To get full access to the bug system you need to be
an Author (http://openjdk.java.net/bylaws#author).  You can work your way
up to being an Author (http://openjdk.java.net/bylaws#contributor) by
submitting patches (http://openjdk.java.net/contribute/).

The Adoption group can definitely help guide you through that process (it's
a little tricky the first time)!


Cheers,
Martijn

As usual, I would suggest checking out some of the newer, smaller 
OpenJDK Projects first, as they tend to be the easier to make a mark in 
than larger ones. See 
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/adoption-discuss/2015-November/001225.html 
for a longer explanation of how to start contributing successfully, 
rather than just jumping into the wild river and hoping for the best ;)

For example, the Code Tools Project has a nice pool of smaller, distinct 
tools one can start contributing to without having to become an expert 
on JDK development right away.

cheers,

Hi all,

it seems to be a good tradition to introduce oneself here, so let me do likewise. My name is Alexander Ny?en, I am 38 and live in L?nen, Germany. I have studied computer science at RWTH Aachen University, where I subsequently earned a doctorate, and I currently work for itemis AG in Germany. Being project lead of the Eclipse Graphical Editing Framework (GEF) project, my motivation for contributing here is that GEF heavily relies on JavaFX. My focus is thus OpenJFX. Especially its SWT integration is of growing importance to the Eclipse community, and I will try to help bringing it forward.

Regards,
Alexander

Hi Alexander,

Welcome to OpenJDK, I suspect you've seen the earlier messages on how to
contribute and where you can get help, but if you do need further
assistance then please post to the adoption group and we'll get you started.

Cheers,
Martijn

Thanks Martijn,

I have read through the OpenJDK wiki a bit, set up an OpenJFX environment (while I was not able to build inside an Eclipse/IntelliJ/NetBeans IDE yet, the Gradle build is working fine), and also worked on a first contribution for JDK-8088147 to get a start. What is not yet clear to me is how to deliver that contribution. As cr.openjdk.java.net seems to be limited to users with push access, where to make a patch available for review/consumption? Shall I generate webrev material and attach it to a mail? Also, as only authors seem to be allowed to comment issues in JIRA, how to contribute there (I would like to at least answer questions that were raised on issues I have created via the Webbug interface)?

Cheers,
Alexander

See section 3 of http://openjdk.java.net/contribute/ .


> As cr.openjdk.java.net seems to be limited to users with push access, where to make a patch available for review/consumption?

On the corresponding mailing list.

> Shall I generate webrev material and attach it to a mail?

Quoting from the section referenced above:

"The code change itself, relative to an existing changeset in the 
appropriate Mercurial repository. The preferred form is generated by 
Mercurial's hg export command, with the -g option so that file renames 
are tracked correctly. The output of hg diff -g is also acceptable, and 
in the worst case traditional unified diffs (-u) are okay too, at least 
for simple changes."

> Also, as only authors seem to be allowed to comment issues in JIRA, how to contribute there (I would like to at least answer questions that were raised on issues I have created via the Webbug interface)?

The easiest way to do that is to start a separate thread on a mailing 
list around an issue.

Broadly speaking, mailing lists are for discussion, while bug trackers 
are for facts. Keeping these two separated allows developers to come 
back to issues later without having to slog through years of potentially 
tangential discussions on the bug in a bug tracker. [0]
