Hi Jack!

A good place to start is with the OpenJDK "How to Contribute" page[1]. There are many different ways to get started. I would suggesting starting with some easier things to get your feet wet and get accustomed to the process of contributing. As you build up a reputation, it will be easier to do more. A good code-contribution project would be https://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-18937. Another project that is frequently done in OpenJDK is to remove build warnings (of which we have plenty!). Another good opportunity is to build using the new Gradle build support[2] and then report back bugs or submit patches.

Cheers
Richard
