Contributing changes

[planetmcd]

Hello,
If I want to contribute changes, how would I go about that?
In particular, I want to make the gmail settings api multi-domain
capable.
Sorry if this was on the project page, but I missed it.
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,

Thanks for your offer, we definitely appreciate your help.

The best way to start contributing to the project is to file an issue on the project issue tracker (http://code.google.com/p/gdata-java-client/issues/entry) and attach a patch with your code. One of the project owners will review it, approve it and commit it into the repository on your behalf.

Once you start contributing on a regular basis, you might want to request write permission to the repository so that after the review process (we always do that) you can directly commit your code.

For what concerns your specific change, adding multidomain support to the Email Settings API is a common feature request and we are already working on it, so you may want to wait for our next release instead of investing your time in the same effort. Of course, please feel free to send us your code if you have already assembled a patch and want to propose it for inclusion.

Thanks

Claudio

Hi Mike,

If you own the intellectual property of the patch you would like to submit, please sign an Individual CLA.

If your contribution belongs your company and they want you to contribute your work to the client library, then you'll need to sign a corporate CLA.

Once that is done, please attach your patch to an entry in the issue tracker in order for it to be reviewed.

Thanks

Claudio
