If you'd rather a more gentle introduction to working on the ServiceMix project, look at the unit tests cases and help us to improve our test coverage.

Getting In Touch

There are various ways of communicating with the ServiceMix community.

  • add some comments to the wiki(requires a log in)

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 CVS and then we'll know when its really fixed and we can ensure that the problem stays fixed in future releases.

Submitting Patches

We gladly accept patches if you can find ways to improve, tune or fix ServiceMix in some way.

To submit a patch, please use the following steps:

  1. Create a new JIRA issue fully explaining the situation, including the environments you've test, the JVM you're using and anything else that might be useful to know about the situation
  2. Attach the patch to the issue that you are creating and make sure to tick the 'Patch Attached' checkbox on the issue
  3. Send an email to the Mailing Lists or Discussion Forums to let people know you've filed an issue and contributed a patch for the issue
  4. Please try to also submit tests in the patch. Including tests makes applying the patch much easier and faster. Tests allow a patch to be applied and tested much quicker which results in your issue being fixed faster.

Creating the Patch

Most IDEs can create nice patches now very easily. 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
A Tip For Creating Patches

When creating a patch, making sure the patch filename ends in .txt will allow it to be easily viewed in a browser.
