@HTML_SIDEBAR@ # Contributing to FindBugs If you have a bug fix or feature enhancement you would like to contribute, we would be happy to consider it for inclusion. ## Import FindBugs code as Eclipse projects The preferred way to get the FindBugs source code and create the patch is to use Eclipse + SVN. You can easily import FindBugs code into Eclipse by following the steps described here: Import Eclipse projects . ## Preparing a patch The best way to send an enhancement is to create a patch against the latest code in the FindBugs Subversion repository at http://findbugs.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ (those people who have been given commit priviledges should use https://findbugs.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/). To create a patch from Eclipse, please right click the [findbugs] or [findBugsEclipsePlugin] project and choose [Team | Create Patch...] context menu. Please follow these guidelines when preparing your patch: Use the same indentation style as the source file(s) you are modifying. In particular, please use tabs (not spaces) to indent your code; one tab per indent level. If at all possible, avoid making whitespace modifications. Small patches are appreciated. If you are submitting a new bug detector, please submit a small standalone source file that contains an instance of the kind of bug the detector looks for. Following these guidelines makes it much easier for us to incorporate new code. ## How to submit a patch Patches may be submitted through the Patches tracker on the sourceforge project page. @HTML_FOOTER@
