There are many ways you can help make ActiveMQ a better piece of software - please dive in and help!
Try surf the documentation - if somethings confusing or not clear, let us know. Download the code & try it out and see what you think. Browse the source code. Got an itch to scratch, want to tune some operation or add some feature?
Want to do some hacking on ActiveMQ? Try surfing the our issue tracker
for open issues or features that need to be implemented, take ownership of an issue and try fix it.
If you'd rather a more gentle introduction to working on the ActiveMQ project, how about you try look at the
test coverage report and help us get it even more green by supplying more test cases to get us closer to 100% coverage.
Getting in touch
There are various ways of communicating with the ActiveMQ community.
If you find a bug or problem
Please raise a new issue in our issue tracker
If you can create a JUnit test case then your issue is more likely to be resolved quicker.
e.g. take a look at some of the existing unit tests cases
Then we can add your issue to Subversion and then we'll know when its really fixed and we can ensure that the problem stays fixed in future releases.
Working on the code
Grab the Source and create a project in your IDE. e.g. if you are using Eclipse the following should do the trick...
svn co https:cd activemq
mvn eclipse:eclipse
Build the project.
mvn -Dmaven.test.skip=true install
PS: You might need to build multiple times (if you get a build error) because sometimes maven fails to download all the files.
Then import the projects into your workspace.
Creating patches
We gladly accept patches if you can find ways to improve, tune or fix ActiveMQ in some way.
Most IDEs can create nice patches now very easily. e.g. in Eclipse just right click on a file/directory and select Team -> Create Patch. Then just save the patch as a file and then submit it. (You may have to click on Team -> Share... first to enable the Subversion options). Incidentally if you are an Eclipse user you should install the subclipse plugin.
If you're a command line person try the following to create the patch
diff -u Main.java.orig Main.java >> patchfile.txt
or
svn diff Main.java >> patchfile.txt
Submitting patches
The easiest way to submit a patch is to create a new JIRA issue, attach the patch, tick the Patch Attached button on the issue then fire off an email to the Mailing Lists or Discussion Forums.
Becoming a commmitter
Once you've got involved as above, we may well invite you to be a committer. See Becoming a committer for more details.
Using the issue tracker
Before you can raise an issue in the issue tracker you need to register with it. This is quick & painless.
If you want to have a go at fixing an issue you need to be in the list of activemq-developers on the issue tracker. To join the group, please mail the dev@activemq.codehaus.org mail list with the email address you used to register with the issue tracker and we'll add you to the group.
