Bored? Great, why not get involed with Mule

Our aim is to make the best ESB framework, but that takes a lot of work so any help is really appriciated.

Have a look around, if something doesn't make sense, or is unclear get in touch. Are we missing some cool feature you want let us know, we love new ideas and improvements.

Want to code on the Mule project? Try surfing our issue tracker for open issues or features that need to be implemented, take ownership of an issue and try fix it.

Contacting us

There are a couple ways of communicating with the Mule project.

  • subscribe to the mailing lists and start or take part in any conversations
  • add comments to the wiki

If you find a bug or problem

Please raise a new issue in our issue tracker
If you can create a JUnit test case then your issue is more likely to be resolved quicker.
e.g. take a look at some of the existing unit tests cases
Then we can add your issue to CVS and then we'll know when its really fixed and we can ensure that the problem stays fixed in future releases.

Submitting patches

We gladly accept patches if you can find ways to improve, tune or fix Mule in some way.

Some IDEs can create nice patches now very easily. If you're IDE doesn't allow you to create patches or if you just prefer command line, use the following to create the patch on Linux -

diff -u Main.java.orig Main.java >> patchfile.txt

or on Windows you can use the cvs diff command -

cvs diff -u Main.java >> patchfile.txt

The patch file should then be added to a Jira Issue as an attachment.

Using the issue tracker

Before you can raise an issue in the issue tracker you need to register with it. This is quick & painless.

If you want to have a go at fixing an issue you need to be in the list of mule-developers on the issue tracker. To join the group, please mail the dev@mule.codehaus.org mailing list with your username you used to register with the issue tracker and we'll add you to the group.
