Contributing

Why contributing?

The original author and all users of this library are very greatful for your contribution to this Open Source Project. Also most employers value people active in the Open Source community.

The Checklist

If you want to help out and contribute to this Open Source Project, please keep reading.

My thought with jadb was to make it very light weight and easy to use as a developer. This means as little boilerplate code, (mostly) self-documenting public interface, and overall clean code.

Before submitting a pull request, please go through the below checklist to verify your proposed change meets, or exceeds, the quality of the jadb source code.

  • Builds - Make sure the code builds by issuing ant build.
  • Works - Make sure all the test runs and passes.
  • Works - Double check any features you might have changed, and of course any new code by testing manually.
  • Formatting - Keep the formatting consistent. Nothing fancy, pretty standard java stuff, check other source files for reference.
  • Readability - Is your code easy to read? This usually means shorter code, but don't go full terse.
  • Newline at end of file - This makes cat-ing files, etc easier.

Happy coding! I, the original author, and all users are greatful for your contribution. :-)
