Welcome to the Eclipse Nebula project. This repositority contains a large set of UI elements that can be used in Fat or Thin client applications based on Java and SWT.
We can accept you patches if you have signed the Eclipse Contributors Agreement (ECA) which ensures users of these libraries that they can use your code without getting into any legal trouble.
For every patch we require a corresponding Bugzilla issue.
After admin approval, pull requests gets build by these two jobs:
git clone https://github.com/eclipse/nebula.git
cd releng/org.eclipse.nebula.nebula-release
mvn verify
cd releng/org.eclipse.nebula.nebula-incubation
mvn verify (or install to install in the local maven repo)
