Thanks for your interest in this project.
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. If you are new to Che, please see the getting started guide.
Information regarding source code management, builds, and coding standards. All code contributions are made directly through commits or pull requests at http://github.com/eclipse/che.
A great way to contribute to the project is to send a detailed report when you encounter an issue. We always appreciate a well-written, thorough bug report, and will thank you for it!
Check that our issue database doesn't already include that problem or suggestion before submitting an issue. If you find a match, you can use the "subscribe" button to get notified on updates. Do not leave random "+1" or "I have this too" comments, as they only clutter the discussion, and don't help resolving it. However, if you have ways to reproduce the issue or have additional information that may help resolving the issue, please leave a comment.
When reporting issues, always include:
- The Che version that is installed.
- The full directory path of where Che is installed.
- The output of
docker version. - The output of
docker info. - The output of
java -version.
Also include the steps required to reproduce the problem if possible and applicable. This information will help us review and fix your issue faster. When sending lengthy log-files, consider posting them as a gist (https://gist.github.com). Don't forget to remove sensitive data from your logfiles before posting (you can replace those parts with "REDACTED").

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.
- 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!
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Present Che at agile, developer, and DevOps conferences. Contact us for free swag to take to the event.
