Contributing to Apache Commons Exec
======================

You have found a bug or you have an idea for a cool new feature? Contributing code is a great way to give something back to
the open source community. Before you dig right into the code there are a few guidelines that we need contributors to
follow so that we can have a chance of keeping on top of things.

Getting Started
---------------

+ Make sure you have a [JIRA account](https://issues.apache.org/jira/).
+ Make sure you have a [GitHub account](https://github.com/signup/free).
+ If you're planning to implement a new feature it makes sense to discuss you're changes on the [dev list](https://commons.apache.org/mail-lists.html) first. This way you can make sure you're not wasting your time on something that isn't considered to be in Apache Commons Exec's scope.
+ Submit a [Jira Ticket][jira] for your issue, assuming one does not already exist.
+ Clearly describe the issue including steps to reproduce when it is a bug.
+ Make sure you fill in the earliest version that you know has the issue.
+ Find the corresponding [repository on GitHub](https://github.com/apache/?query=commons-),
[fork](https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo/) and check out your forked repository.

Making Changes
--------------

+ Create a _topic branch_ for your isolated work.
* Usually you should base your branch on the `master` or `trunk` branch.
* A good topic branch name can be the JIRA bug id plus a keyword, e.g. `EXEC-123-InputStream`.
* If you have submitted multiple JIRA issues, try to maintain separate branches and pull requests.
+ Make commits of logical units.
* Make sure your commit messages are meaningful and in the proper format. Your commit message should contain the key of the JIRA issue.
* e.g. `EXEC-123: Close input stream earlier`
+ Respect the original code style:
+ Only use spaces for indentation.
+ Create minimal diffs - disable _On Save_ actions like _Reformat Source Code_ or _Organize Imports_. If you feel the source code should be reformatted create a separate PR for this change first.
+ Check for unnecessary whitespace with `git diff` -- check before committing.
+ Make sure you have added the necessary tests for your changes, typically in `src/test/java`.
+ Run all the tests with `mvn clean verify` to assure nothing else was accidentally broken.

Making Trivial Changes
----------------------

The JIRA tickets are used to generate the changelog for the next release.

For changes of a trivial nature to comments and documentation, it is not always necessary to create a new ticket in JIRA.
In this case, it is appropriate to start the first line of a commit with '(doc)' instead of a ticket number.


Submitting Changes
------------------

+ Sign and submit the Apache [Contributor License Agreement][cla] if you haven't already.
* Note that small patches & typical bug fixes do not require a CLA as
clause 5 of the [Apache License](https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html#contributions)
covers them.
+ Push your changes to a topic branch in your fork of the repository.
+ Submit a _Pull Request_ to the corresponding repository in the `apache` organization.
* Verify _Files Changed_ shows only your intended changes and does not
include additional files like `target/*.class`
+ Update your JIRA ticket and include a link to the pull request in the ticket.

If you prefer to not use GitHub, then you can instead use
`git format-patch` (or `svn diff`) and attach the patch file to the JIRA issue.

Apache Commons Exec
===================

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/apache/commons-exec.svg?branch=trunk)](https://travis-ci.org/apache/commons-exec)
[![Maven Central](https://maven-badges.herokuapp.com/maven-central/org.apache.commons/commons-exec/badge.svg)](https://maven-badges.herokuapp.com/maven-central/org.apache.commons/commons-exec/)

Apache Commons Exec is a library to reliably execute external processes from within the JVM.

Documentation
-------------

More information can be found on the [Apache Commons Exec homepage](https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-exec).
The [JavaDoc](https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-exec/javadocs/api-release) can be browsed.
Questions related to the usage of Apache Commons Exec should be posted to the [user mailing list][ml].

Where can I get the latest release?
-----------------------------------
You can download source and binaries from our [download page](https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-exec/download_exec.cgi).

Alternatively you can pull it from the central Maven repositories:

```xml
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.commons</groupId>
<artifactId>commons-exec</artifactId>
<version>1.3</version>
</dependency>
```

Contributing
------------

We accept Pull Requests via GitHub. The [developer mailing list][ml] is the main channel of communication for contributors.
There are some guidelines which will make applying PRs easier for us:
+ No tabs! Please use spaces for indentation.
+ Respect the code style.
+ Create minimal diffs - disable on save actions like reformat source code or organize imports. If you feel the source code should be reformatted create a separate PR for this change.
+ Provide JUnit tests for your changes and make sure your changes don't break any existing tests by running ```mvn clean test```.

If you plan to contribute on a regular basis, please consider filing a [contributor license agreement](https://www.apache.org/licenses/#clas).
You can learn more about contributing via GitHub in our [contribution guidelines](CONTRIBUTING.md).
