Development

Get the source:

You should ***fork*** the ISAconfigurator to your own GitHub "repository". Then clone this forked repository and start developing. When you make changes to the ISAconfigurator code, we can see the changes you made, review the code and merge with the main ISAconfigurator repository code base.

Build dependencies: These are all managed by Maven http://maven.apache.org/.

Refreshing your clone

A simple git pull will suffice!

Contributing

The main ISAconfigurator source tree is hosted on git (a popular DVCS), thus you should create a fork of the repository in which you perform development. See http://help.github.com/forking/.

We prefer that you send a pull request here on GitHub which will then be merged into the official main line repository. You need to sign the ISAtools CLA to be able to contribute (see below).
