[ecf-dev] Getting started on ECF as a developer

[Kunal Suri <surikunal.cs@xxxxxxxxx>]

Sir/Ma'am,
                I am an intermediate Java programmer. I want to work on
ECF. I have read the bugs on [1]. While most of the terminologies used in
the code make sense, I am not sure if I have the knowledge to make a
fruitful contribution (e.g. resolve at least one bug).

Can you tell me about the technical prerequisites for working on ECF? I
have a decent grasp of concepts like interfaces, inner classes, exceptions
and debugging, generics & collections, multithreading and I/O Streams. Do I
need to learn some other topic(s) as well or are these enough to (at least)
get started?

Regards,
Kunal Suri
