Chapter 12. Troubleshooting

12.1. I think I have found a bug

If you think you have found a bug you should verify this by posting to our forum first.

Our forum is located at http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewforum&f=136

You can also search our issue tracking system located at https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBJCA

12.2. I would like to implement a feature

So you have found an area where you are missing a feature and would like to submit a patch for it, great !

There are a couple of steps to get a feature included

First, you should create a new thread in our development forum where you describe the feature, its design and implementation.

Once there is an agreement on the feature and the design you should proceed with creating the patch.

To maximize your chances of getting the feature in the official build as soon as possible make sure that you run through the following steps:

ant clean test
ant clean checkstyle
ant clean findbugs
ant clean cobertura
      

All these should show that,

  1. All your test cases for the feature is passing
  2. Your code is correctly formatted accoording to project rules
  3. There isn't any bug reports from the Findbugs environment
  4. There is full code coverage based on the Cobertura report

when done, create a JIRA task (Patch) in our JIRA environment. See the developer guide for additional details.

Happy Coding !
