Contributing - Getting Started

[Colin Howe]

Hi,

Had a look through the site / mailing list archives and couldn't find anything so here goes:

I've just started playing about with Scala in Eclipse and I'm loving it. However, there fresh from Java-land I've noticed a few little niceties that are missing from the plug-in that would make it really sleek if it had them.

So, how can I go about getting the source (for the plug-in) and starting to contribute?

Cheers,

Colin

Fantastic! Thanks!

From past experience, I would strongly recommend that you start with
something as close to trivial before attempting something major (like
import organization or rename refactoring).

Start here,

  http://lampsvn.epfl.ch/trac/scala/wiki/EclipsePlugin

and come back to me or the list when you have questions.

Cheers,


Miles
