How to make contributions to JUNIT open source

How can one make contributions to JUnit or any开发者_开发技巧 other open source java framework in general? I am a entry level programmer and any suggestions are welcome.

JUnit is hosted at github, like many other projects. So you can clone the source, make a change, commit it, push it to your own fork on github, and then issue a pull request to ask them to merge your changes into the official repo. See the list of issues for ideas of what types of changes to make.

Generally speaking, the method depends on the project. Many have a page detailing how you can get involved. Keep in mind that a level of trust needs to be built up -- don't expect your first submissions to make it in right away, if at all. Don't let that discourage you, though. Getting involved with an open source project is an excellent way to build your own knowledge experience, and helps others at the same time.

Go to www.junit.org and join its mailing list.

To see what JUnit project is going on, what new features people expect, which is bugfixes...you could create a topic to discuss in the mailing list.

Hope it will help you!
