So you want to help? Great! You don't have to be an Eclipse guru or code monkey to help. There are many ways to participate in the Eclipse community.
Report Bugs and Enhancements
- Download one of the latest Eclipse Package Milestone Builds. Take it for a test drive before the final release and report any bugs you find.
- Report Enhancements: Got an idea for a killer feature? Or maybe something you use often could use some tweaking? Post an enhancement request!
Fix Bugs or Implement Enhancements
