Issues

Here you'll find instructions on how to contribute to the QAT-Java Library.

Your contributions are most welcome! You'll find it is best to begin with a conversation about your changes, rather than just writing a bunch of code and contributing it out of the blue. A great way to suggest new features, offer to add a feature, or just begin a dialog about the QAT-Java Library is to open an issue in our GitHub Issues Database

Contribution Guide

We accept contributions as pull requests on GitHub. Please follow these simple rules:

  • A PR should have a clear purpose, and do one thing only, and nothing more. This will enable us review your PR more quickly.
  • Each commit in PR should be a small, atomic change representing one step in development.
  • Please squash intermediate steps within PR for bugfixes, style cleanups, reversions, etc., so they would not appear in merged PR history.
  • Please explain anything non-obvious from the code in comments, commit messages, or the PR description, as appropriate.

Code formatting and check

Please check the formatting of the code by running:

mvn spotless:check

The code can be formatted with:

mvn spotless:apply

License

Java* Native Interface binding for Intel® Quick Assist Technology is licensed under the terms in BSD. By contributing to the project, you agree to the license and copyright terms therein and release your contribution under these terms.

Sign your work

Please use the sign-off line at the end of the patch. Your signature certifies that you wrote the patch or otherwise have the right to pass it on as an open-source patch. The rules are pretty simple: if you can certify the below (from developercertificate.org):

Developer Certificate of Origin
Version 1.1

Copyright (C) 2004, 2006 The Linux Foundation and its contributors.
660 York Street, Suite 102,
San Francisco, CA 94110 USA

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this
license document, but changing it is not allowed.

Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.1

By making a contribution to this project, I certify that:

(a) The contribution was created in whole or in part by me and I
    have the right to submit it under the open source license
    indicated in the file; or

(b) The contribution is based upon previous work that, to the best
    of my knowledge, is covered under an appropriate open source
    license and I have the right under that license to submit that
    work with modifications, whether created in whole or in part
    by me, under the same open source license (unless I am
    permitted to submit under a different license), as indicated
    in the file; or

(c) The contribution was provided directly to me by some other
    person who certified (a), (b) or (c) and I have not modified
    it.

(d) I understand and agree that this project and the contribution
    are public and that a record of the contribution (including all
    personal information I submit with it, including my sign-off) is

Then you just add a line to every git commit message:
