If you have a fix for the issue, you can generate a patch file to send the fix to us. You need to check out the current source code from Subversion (see Source Code), make the necessary changes (see Coding Standards), and then do a full build with all tests enabled (see Building) and make sure the unit tests runs as expected (try maven -o clean packageinstall to run a full build), and of course, confirm that the problem is actually fixed. Then, go to the trunk root directory of your OpenJPA checkout, and run a command like svn diff > OPENJPA-243<JIRA_NUMBER>-<BRANCH_ID>.patch to generate a patch file.

To submit a patch, create an issue in JIRA that describes the problem, add your patch file as an attachment (don't forget to select the "Grant license to ASF for inclusion in ASF works" option), and then edit the JIRA to select the Patch Available check box. Please include detailed steps to reproduce the problem in the issue description, and a test case in the patch where possible (see Testing).

For larger contributions, like new features or more complex bug fixes, you should also have an Individual Contributor License Agreement on file with the ASF.

Thanks for working with us to improve Apache OpenJPA!
