House Rules

RTFM

First and foremost, I ask you to read the documentation for the area you wish to contribute to. This includes the

• tutorial, the
• reference, and the
• developer’s journal, which you might want to skim through.

When developing for Eclipse, you need to follow Eclipse’s house rules. They help you and everyone else produce a consistent and high-quality product. It’s the same with AFC, only we have fewer rules. Here they are:

1. Document first
2. Cite tests
3. Mimick existing code (see also: code style)
4. Implement only what the tests require

Simple enough. Now go see them in action: add a missing function. That will make them clear.
