Contributing to Eclipse Che

Thanks for your interest in this project.

Project Description

Che's objective is to create high performance developer environments by producing extensible, RESTful workspaces combined with a cloud IDE that can be customized with plug-ins. Tools are written in Java and run in the browser.

Developer Resources

Information regarding source code management, builds, and coding standards. Until Che has completed its initial CQs, all code contributions are made directly through commits or pull requests at http://github.com/codenv/che.

Bugs

This project uses GitHub to track ongoing development and issues. Please note, January 2015, Codenvy is still in the process of moving all Che issues from their internal Jira to GitHub. So you may want to send an email to the che-dev alias to check on any issues if you do not see them in Bugzilla.

Get Involved!

Report Bugs and Enhancements

  • Download one of the latest milestone builds called nightly. Take it for a test drive before the final release and report any bugs you find in GitHub.
  • Report enhancements. Got an idea for a killer feature? Or maybe something you use often could use some tweaking? Post an enhancement request!

Fix Bugs or Implement Enhancements

  • Is there some bug that really bothers you? Instead of just reporting it, fix it.
  • Hope on che-dev@eclipse.org or #eclipseche to discuss feature enhancements and the branching process.

Become a Committer

  • Committers gain additional rights around managing the repositories and setting the release scope.
  • Ongoing plug-in contributors are also welcome to be elevated as committers.

Promote Eclipse Che

  • Let other people know that your application is built on Eclipse.
  • Do you have a success story about Eclipse? Send us a story and we'll help you spread the word.
