Re: [ve-dev] Re: How to be a contributor to the VE project (was Re: VE Question.)

Yves:
Thanks - does this mean that the HEAD of VE sources will only compile
for Eclipse 3.5 now?
Any comments on encouraging community participation in this project?

I have in the meantime discovered the main culprit for my errors was a dependency on the dependencies tab of plugin.xml.
I had errors because the version of com.ibm.icu on Galileo is 4.0.1 and the expected dependency was 3.something
In Fact, it is already fixed in CVS

All the project now compile successfully.

Marius:
To answer your question, I've created a wiki page to capture how best to
set up a workspace for building VE (and JEM, since we build that as well).
http://wiki.eclipse.org/VE/Building
Let me know if that helps! (Or if anything's missing.)

As every project is run a bit differently, the best advice I can give
you is to talk to the project leads &/or active developers, read the
mailing list posts to see what's going on in the project, etc. Get
involved! As people learn your name, and see what you're capable of
(eg., fixing bugs, submitting patches, contributing to architectural
discussions/planning), you'll rise from 'interested user' to
'contributor' and maybe eventually committer.
I've copied your question to the ve-dev@ mailing list so other active
participants can chime in with what they would like to see from new
members, and so other interested contributors can test out the wiki'd
instructions above and see if they work for them.
(I'm the guy who pokes the builds & website from time to time, but I'm
not actively involved in the planning, development, or management of
this project beyond that.)
Joe? Yves? Anything to add?

Nick, I noticed you did the VE 1.4.0 R build. If you would be so kind to
assist me in getting started with the VE stuff.
I have never before been a contributor to open-source. The primary
reason is that I do not know howe to get started.
I have checked out the VE-ALL projects. There are sub-projects under
some other projects.
If I open the projects in Eclipse I have a lot of errors regarding
dependencies for logging and concurrency, etc..
I would like to understand this.
Must the project structures remain exactly as checked out?
Must I download the dependencies from their respective web-sites? I have
done this for the concurrency.jar and when I included it in the project
I get deprecation errors on the JDT sources.
Are there some basic guidelines somewhere on how to get actively
involved in a project.
Kind regards.
