| Bug Database |
| </h3> |
| <p> |
| This page gives you some bookmarks to use the Bugzilla <a href="http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/"> |
| Apache Bug Database</a>. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| This link <a href="http://issues.apache.org/">issues.apache.org</a> connects you |
| to the complete list of Apache Bug Database systems. |
| </p> |
| <h4 class="subsection"> |
| <a name="Has It Been Reported?"></a> |
| Has It Been Reported? |
| </h4> |
| <p> |
| If the current nightly build doesn't resolve your problem, it is |
| possible that someone else has reported the issue. It is time to |
| look at the bug database. This system is easy to use, and it will |
| let you search the <a href="http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&email1=&emailtype1=substring&emailassigned_to1=1&email2=&emailtype2=substring&emailreporter2=1&bugidtype=include&bug_id=&changedin=&votes=&chfieldfrom=&chfieldto=Now&chfieldvalue=&product=Ant&short_desc=&short_desc_type=substring&long_desc=&long_desc_type=substring&bug_file_loc=&bug_file_loc_type=substring&keywords=&keywords_type=anywords&field0-0-0=noop&type0-0-0=noop&value0-0-0=&order=bugs.bug_id"> |
| currently open</a> and resolved bugs to see if your problem has |
| already been reported. If your problem has been reported, you can |
| see whether any of the developers have commented, suggesting |
| workarounds, or the reason for the bug, etc. Or you may have |
| information to add (see about creating and modifying bug reports |
| below), in which case, go right ahead and add the information. |
| If you don't have any additional information, you may just want |
| to vote for this bug, and perhaps |
| add yourself to the <code>CC</code> list to follow the progress |
| of this bug. |

| <a name="Filing a Bug Report"></a> |
| Filing a Bug Report |
| </h4> |
| <p> |
| Please read our document about <a href="problems.html">problems</a> |
| before deciding that there is an unreported |
| bug in Ant. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| You have a few choices at this point. You can send |
| an email to the <code>user</code> mailing list |
| to see if |
| others have encountered your issue and find out how they may |
| have worked around it. If after some discussion, you feel it |
| is time to create |
| a bug report, this is a simple operation in the bug database. |
| Please try to provide as much information as possible in order |
| to assist the developers in resolving the bug. Please try to enter |
| correct values for the various inputs when creating the bug, such |
| as which version of Ant you are running, and on which platform, |
| etc. Once the bug is created, you can also add attachments to |
| the bug report. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| What information should you include in your bug report? The |
| easiest bugs to fix are those that are most easily reproducible, |
| so it is really helpful if you can produce a small test case that |
| exhibits the problem. In this case, you would attach the build file |
| and any other files necessary to reproduce the problem, probably |
| packed together in an archive. If you can't produce a test case, |
| you should try to include a snippet from your build file and the |
| relevant sections from the verbose or debug output from Ant. Try |
| to include the header information where Ant states the version, |
| the OS and VM information, etc. As debug output is likely to be |
| very large, it's best to remove any output that is not |
| relevant. Once the bug is entered into the bug database, you |
| will be kept informed by email about progress on the bug. If |
| you receive email asking for further information, please try to |
| respond, as it will aid in the resolution of your bug. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| To create the bug report hit this |
| <a href="http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi?product=Ant"> |
| link</a>. |

| <h4 class="subsection"> |
| <a name="Asking for an Enhancement"></a> |
| Asking for an Enhancement |
| </h4> |
| <p> |
| Sometimes, you may find that Ant just doesn't do what you need it |
| to. It isn't a bug, as such, since Ant is working the way it is |
| supposed to work. Perhaps it is some additional functionality for |
| a task that hasn't been thought of yet, or maybe a completely new |
| task. For these situations, you will |
| want to raise an <i>enhancement request</i>. Enhancement requests |
| are managed using the same Apache Bug Database described above. |
| These are just a different type of bug report. If you look in the |
| bug database, you will see that one of the severity settings for |
| a bug is "Enhancement". Just fill the bug report in, |
| set the severity of the bug to "Enhancement", and |
| state in the description how you would like to have Ant enhanced. |
| Again, you should first check whether there are any existing |
| enhancment requests that cover your needs. If so, just add your |
| vote to these. |
| </p> |

| <h4 class="subsection"> |
| <a name="Fixing the Bug"></a> |
| Fixing the Bug |
| </h4> |
| <p> |
| If you aren't satisfied with just filing a bug report, you can |
| try to find the cause of the problem and provide a fix yourself. |
| The best way to do that is by working with the latest code from Subversion. |
| Alternatively, you can work with the source code available from the |
| <a href="http://ant.apache.org/srcdownload.cgi"> |
| source distributions</a>. If you |
| are going to tackle the problem at this level, you may want to |
| discuss some details first on the <code>dev</code> |
| mailing list. Once you have a fix for the problem, you may submit |
| the fix as a <i>patch</i> to either the |
| <code>dev</code> mailing |
| list, or enter the bug database as described above and attach the |
| patch to the bug report. Using the bug database has the advantage |
| of being able to track the progress of your patch. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| If you have a patch to submit and are sending it to the |
| <code>dev</code> mailing list, |
| prefix "[PATCH]" |
| to your message subject (this is also a good idea for |
| a subject line in the bug database). |
| Please include any relevant bug numbers. |
| Patch files should be created with the <code>-u</code> |
| option of the |
| <code>diff</code> or <code>svn diff</code> command. For |
| example:<br /><br /> |
| <font face="verdana" size="-1"> |
| diff -u Javac.java.orig Javac.java > javac.diffs<br /><br /> |
| </font> |
| or, if you have source from Subversion:<br /><br /> |
| <font face="verdana" size="-1"> |
| svn diff Javac.java > javac.diffs<br /><br /> |
| </font> |
| |
| Note: You should give your patch files meaningful names. |
| This makes it easier for developers who need to apply a number |
| of different patch files. |
