<p>
|
||||
Don't forget which branch you are currently on. This is critically
|
||||
important. Committing stuff to the wrong branch causes all sorts of
|
||||
headaches. Best to name your checkout after the branch you are on.

||||
</p>
|
||||
</section>
|
||||
<section><title>Who Manages Branching?</title>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
All branching is currently managed by Glen Stampoultzis. If you wish
|
||||
to create your own branch please let him know. Merging is also
|
||||
handled by Glen. Just pop him a mail if you feel it's necessary to
|
||||
create a branch or perform a merge.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The reason to go through a single point for branching is that it can be
|
||||
an easy thing to get wrong. Having a single person managing branches
|
||||
means there is less chance of getting getting our wires crossed with this
|
||||
difficult area of CVS.

The POI project is <link href="http://www.opensource.org">OpenSource</link>
|
||||
and developed/distributed under the <link
|
||||
href="http://www.apache.org/foundation/licence-FAQ.html">
|
||||
Apache Software License</link>. Unlike other licenses this license allows
|
||||
free open source development; however, it does not require you to release
|
||||
your source or use any particular license for your source. If you wish
|
||||
to contribute to POI (which you're very welcome and encouraged to do so)
|
||||
then you must agree to release the rights of your source to us under this
|
||||
license.

|

<section><title>Publicly Available Information on the file formats</title>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
In early 2008, Microsoft made a fairly complete set of documentation
|
||||
on the binary file formats freely and publicly available. These were
|
||||
released under the <link href="http://www.microsoft.com/interop/osp">Open
|
||||
Specification Promise</link>, which does allow us to use them for
|
||||
building open source software under the <link
|
||||
href="http://www.apache.org/foundation/licence-FAQ.html">
|
||||
Apache Software License</link>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
You can download the documentation on Excel, Word, PowerPoint and
|
||||
Escher (drawing) from
|
||||
<link href="http://www.microsoft.com/interop/docs/OfficeBinaryFormats.mspx">http://www.microsoft.com/interop/docs/OfficeBinaryFormats.mspx</link>.
|
||||
Documentation on a few of the supporting technologies used in these
|
||||
file formats can be downloaded from
|
||||
<link href="http://www.microsoft.com/interop/docs/supportingtechnologies.mspx">http://www.microsoft.com/interop/docs/supportingtechnologies.mspx</link>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Previously, Microsoft published a book on the Excel 97 file format.
|
||||
It can still be of plenty of use, and is handy dead tree form. Pick up
|
||||
a copy of "Excel 97 Developer's Kit" from your favourite second hand
|
||||
book store.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The newer Office Open XML (ooxml) file formats are documented as part
|
||||
of the ECMA / ISO standardisation effort for the formats. This
|
||||
documentation is quite large, but you can normally find the bit you
|
||||
need without too much effort! This can be downloaded from
|
||||
<link href="http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-376.htm">http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-376.htm</link>,
|
||||
and is also under the <link href="http://www.microsoft.com/interop/osp">OSP</link>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
It is also worth checking the documentation and code of the other
|
||||
open source implementations of the file formats.
|
||||

<p>
|
||||
In short, stay away, stay far far away. Implementing these file formats
|
||||
in POI is done strictly by using public information. Public information
|
||||
includes sources from other open source projects, books that state the
|
||||
purpose intended is for allowing implementation of the file format and
|
||||
do not require any non-disclosure agreement and just hard work.
|
||||
We are intent on keeping it
|
||||
legal, by contributing patches you agree to do the same.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
If you've ever received information regarding the OLE 2 Compound Document
|
||||
Format under any type of exclusionary agreement from Microsoft, or
|
||||
(possibly illegally) received such information from a person bound by
|
||||
such an agreement, you cannot participate in this project. (Sorry)
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Those submitting patches that show insight into the file format may be
|
||||
asked to state explicitly that they have only ever read the publicly
|
||||
available file format information, and not any received under an NDA
|
||||
or similar.

|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Read the rest of the website, understand what POI is and what it does,
|
||||
the project vision, etc.</li>
|
||||
<li>Use POI a bit, look for gaps in the documentation and examples.</li>
|
||||
<li>Join the <link href="../mailinglists.html">mailing lists</link> and share your knowledge with others.</li>
|
||||
<li>Get <link href="../subversion.html">Subversion</link> and check out the POI source tree</li>
|
||||
<li>Documentation is always the best place to start contributing, maybe you found that if the documentation just told you how to do X then it would make more sense, modify the documentation.</li>
|
||||
<li>Contribute examples - if there's something people are often asking about on the <link href="../mailinglists.html">user list</link> which isn't covered in the documentation or current examples, try writing an example of this and uploading it as a patch.</li>
|
||||
<li>Get used to building POI, you'll be doing it a lot, be one with the build, know its targets, etc.</li>
|
||||
<li>Write Unit Tests. Great way to understand POI. Look for classes that aren't tested, or aren't tested on a public/protected method level, start there.</li>
|
||||
<li>Download the file format documentation from Microsoft -
|
||||
<link href="http://www.microsoft.com/interop/docs/OfficeBinaryFormats.mspx">OLE2 Binary File Formats</link> or
|
||||
<link href="http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-376.htm">OOXML XML File Formats</link></li>
|
||||
<li>Submit patches (see below) of your contributions, modifications.</li>
|
||||
<li>Check the <link href="http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?product=POI">bug database</link> for simple problem reports, and write a patch to fix the problem</li>
|
||||
<li>Add in new features, see <link href="http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?product=POI">Bug database</link> for suggestions.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<p>The Nutch project also have a very useful guide on becoming a
|
||||
new developer in their project. While it is written for their project,
|
||||
a large part of it will apply to POI too. You can read it at
|
||||
<link href="http://wiki.apache.org/nutch/Becoming_A_Nutch_Developer">http://wiki.apache.org/nutch/Becoming_A_Nutch_Developer</link></p>
|

|
||||
<section><title>Submitting Patches</title>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Create patches by getting the latest sources from Subversion.
|
||||
Alter or add files as appropriate. Then, from the poi directiory,
|
||||
type svn diff > mypatch.patch. This will capture all of your changes
|
||||
in a patch file of the appropriate format. However, svn diff won't
|
||||
capture any new files you may have added. So, if you've added any
|
||||
files, create an archive (tar.bz2 preferred as its the smallest) in a
|
||||
path-preserving archive format, relative to your poi directory.
|
||||
You'll attach both files in the next step.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Patches are submitted via the <link href="http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?product=POI">Bug Database</link>.
|
||||
Create a new bug, set the subject to [PATCH] followed by a brief description. Explain you patch and any special instructions and submit/save it.
|
||||
Next, go back to the bug, and create attachements for the patch files you
|
||||
created. Be sure to describe not only the files purpose, but its format.
|
||||
(Is that ZIP or a tgz or a bz2 or what?).
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Make sure your patches include the @author tag on any files you've altered
|
||||
or created. Make sure you've documented your changes and altered the
|
||||
examples/etc to reflect them. Any new additions should have unit tests.
|
||||
Lastly, ensure that you've provided approriate javadoc. (see
|
||||
<link href="http://poi.apache.org/resolutions/res001.html">Coding
|
||||
Standards</link>). Patches that are of low quality may be rejected or
|
||||
the contributer may be asked to bring them up to spec.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>If you use a unix shell, you may find the following following
|
||||
sequence of commands useful for building the files to attach.</p>
|
||||

Ideally, patches should be submitted early and often. This is for
|
||||
two key reasons. Firstly, it's much easier to review smaller patches
|
||||
than large ones. This means that smaller patches are much more likely
|
||||
to be applied to SVN in a timely fashion. Secondly, by sending in your
|
||||
patches earlier rather than later, it's much easier to get feedback
|
||||
on your coding and direction. If you've missed an easier way to do something,
|
||||
or are duplicating some (probably hidden) existing code, or taking things
|
||||
in an unusual direction, it's best to get the feedback sooner rather than
|
||||
later! As such, when submitting patches to POI, as with other Apache
|
||||
Software Foundation projects, do please try to submit early and often, rather
|
||||
than "throwing a large patch over the wall" at the end.

<section><title>Mentoring and Committership</title>
|
||||
<p>The POI project will generally offer committership to contributors who send
|
||||
in consistently good patches over a period of several months.</p>
|
||||
<p>The requirement for "good patches" generally means patches which can be applied
|
||||
to SVN with little or no changes. These patches should include unit test, and
|
||||
appropriate documentation. Whilst your first patch to POI may require quite a
|
||||
bit of work before it can be committed by an existing committer, with any luck
|
||||
your later patches will be applied with no / minor tweaks. Please do take note
|
||||
of any changes required by your earlier patches, to learn for later ones! If
|
||||
in doubt, ask on the <link href="mailinglists.html">dev mailing list</link>.</p>
|
||||
<p>The requirement for patches over several months is to ensure that committers
|
||||
remain with the project. It's very easy for a good developer to fire off half
|
||||
a dozen good patches in the couple of weeks that they're working on a POI
|
||||
powered project. However, if that developer then moves away, and stops
|
||||
contributing to POI after that spurt, then they're not a good candidate for
|
||||
committership. As such, we generally require people to stay around for a while,
|
||||
submitting patches and helping on the mailing list before considering them
|
||||
for committership.</p>
|
||||
<p>Where possible, patches should be submitted early and often. For more details
|
||||
on this, please see the "Submitting Patches" section above.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Where possible, the existing developers will try to help and mentor new
|
||||
contributors. However, everyone involved in POI is a volunteer, and it may
|
||||
happen that your first few patches come in at a time when all the committers
|
||||
are very busy. Do please have patience, and remember to use the
|
||||
<link href="mailinglists.html">dev mailing list</link> so that other
|
||||
contributors can assist you!</p>

||||

||||
