i never thought hibernate was simple, my problem is that i don't see
how anyone outside jboss personal can actually create fixes (patches
or commits) without internal overview of hibernate. and jumping head
first is actually what a new developer in jboss would need to do, even
if he did had prior usage of hibernate. so either there are white
papers kept in jboss for their use only , or the information is pass
down orally by a senior developer.
There are no internal secret jboss documents - all the information is
public. Many people are creating patches to hibernate in various areas
by simply reading the code that is having a problem and fix it - of
course for more detailed hardcore bugs more info is needed, but no
written documentation would help you there - you would still need to
look at the code to learn it.
btw. I did not work for JBoss when I started contribute to Hibernate,
and there are non-JBoss committers today too - the right to commit is
earned by showing skill and drive; not by getting hired.
to give an example, we have a developer with a 7 year experience in
java j2ee, working on an undocumented homegrown framework with no
internal overview documentation, and only oral info passed from
previous developer, and that's not nearly enough as fixes usually
break something else.
Look at the unittests, if you break them you know you messed up - if
they pass the chance of you having messed up is less ;)

Some observations on this thread:
1. You do not need m2eclipse. /trunk and /Branch_3_3 both use
Maven 2 and will build straight away with "mvn compile".
2. You can generate Eclipse or IDEA project files from the command
line in the standard Maven way (mvn eclipse:eclipse or mvn
idea:idea) and then import the projects. I understand that IDEA
reads Maven metadata natively but I cannot speak to that.
3. Only committers are allowed to ... commit. This is what the
svn.jboss.org <http://svn.jboss.org/> server is for.
anonsvn.jboss.org <http://anonsvn.jboss.org/> is a replica with
read-only privileges. Use this for now. You are free to open
JIRA tickets and attach patch files which will be reviewed by
Hibernate committers and possibly committed in a future release.
4. Yes, Hibernate is complicated. It is not a trivial project to
jump into head-first. So please understand that there are many
ways to contribute:
* Helping on the forums
* Hanging around in IRC to participate/answer questions
* Improving the wiki
* Filing JIRA issues for bugs or attaching test cases that are
required
Happy Hibernating,
Chris

i've started a small blog http://osventure.wordpress.com/
about my
experiences with open source, documenting my attempts.
please note that you will need m2eclipse plugin to
download the
code, as the svn repo is not in eclipse project.
you will then need to change your .settings.xml file for
maven in
~/m2 direcotry for jboss plugins
also after you downloaded the code you will encounter
huge amount of
compiler errors you will need to the following:
1. run mvn install on the pom parent - to generate some
antlr files
that were not generated during the initial load
2. change hibernate-core project compiler settings to :
generated .class file compatibility to 1.4, source
compatibility : 1.4
3. on hibernate-common-annotations project change the compiler
error/warnings , turn the forbidden reference (access rules) to
warning instead of error.
good luck getting your feet, personally i feel somewhat
drowning
when i'm trying to figure out this bug :
http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-3856
personally i have no idea how anyone outside jboss can
even begin to
start modify the code without some white papers or
explanation on
the internal structure of hibernate.

Hi,
Is there any SVN repository from where I can

The ideal way to get involved is to download the
source and
get familiar with it first - if you have not
already. I am
here because I made some modifications to hibernate
for my
own project and want to contribute back. The best
way to
start is to look at existing bug reports, write a
patch or
two and attach them to the ticket. Of course, I'm in a
similar boat as you, in that I'm not an active
committer
right now. I'm personally looking at issues which
affect me
- aka I don't want to be committing code for things
that I
am not having practical use for.
