Want to contribute? Great! We try to make it easy, and all contributions, even the smaller ones, are more than welcome. This includes bug reports, fixes, documentation, examples... But first, read this page (including the small print at the end).

This project uses the Hibernate Tools JIRA to manage bugs and feature requests. Open an issue directly in JIRA.
If you believe you found a bug, and it's likely possible, please indicate a way to reproduce it, what you are seeing and what you would expect to see. Don't forget to indicate your Java and Hibernate versions.
To contribute, use GitHub Pull Requests, from your own fork.
The project is developed under the form of a hierarchical multimodule Maven project. After cloning the git repository to your local machine you can import it as such into your favorite IDE.
When you want to contribute code or documentation you first need to create a topic branch. It is common practice to give your branch a name that refers to the issue you are solving. E.g. if you want to fix the JIRA issue HBX-2000, name your topic branch 'HBX-2000' (git checkout -b HBX-2000).
When the work is done or the issue is (partly) fixed, squash the commits into one. It is good practice to refer to the solved issue in the commit message. E.g. git commit -m "HBX-2000: Create README.md files for the parent and child modules of the project - Add a 'contribute.md' file".
Rebase your topic branch against the current master branch if necessary (git rebase master), push the branch to your own fork on GitHub (git push <your-fork> HBX-2000) and open a pull request (https://github.com/<your-fork>/quarkus-eclipse/pull/new/HBX-2000).
This project is an open source project, please act responsibly, be nice, polite and enjoy!
