<h1>Contributing to FindBugs</h1>
<p> If you have a bug fix or feature enhancement you would like to contribute,
we would be happy to consider it for inclusion.</p>
<h2>Preparing a patch</h2>
<p> The best way to
send an enhancement is to create a patch against the latest code
in the FindBugs Subversion repository
at <a href="http://findbugs.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/">http://findbugs.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/</a>
(those people who have been given commit priviledges should use
<a href="http://findbugs.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/">http://findbugs.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/</a>).
</p>
<p> Please follow these guidelines when preparing your patch:</p>
<ul>
<li> <b>Use the same indentation style as the source file(s) you
are modifying</b>. In particular, please use tabs (not spaces)
to indent your code; one tab per indent level.
<li> If at all possible, avoid making whitespace modifications.
<li> Small patches are appreciated.
<li> If you are submitting a new bug detector, please submit a small
standalone source file that contains an instance of the
kind of bug the detector looks for.
</ul>
<p> Following these guidelines makes it much easier for us
to incorporate new code.
<h2>How to submit a patch</h2>
<p> Patches may be submitted through the
<a href="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=614695&group_id=96405&func=browse">Patches</a> tracker on the
<a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/findbugs/">sourceforge project page</a>.
