ContributingGuidelines
- Propose ideas or give feedback in the MicroProfile Google Group (Forum)
- Submit a proposal for a new specification or improvement
- Create a pull request (before a PR can be accepted, its contributor must undergo Eclipse processes, mainly sign the Eclipse Foundation Contributor License Agreement
- Become a project committer (a contributor is nominated by one of the project committers and other committers vote about the nomination)
Per a recent discussion and "vote" on our Google Group Forum, it has been decided that AsciiDoc will be our preferred documentation formatting language. Please use AsciiDoc (.adoc) for creating and formatting any proposals, specifications, README files, CONTRIBUTING files, etc as you develop artifacts for the MicroProfile project.

All files must include a license header. Moreover, a NOTICE file should exist for each repository. Author tags under a license header are optional and not mandated by the Eclipse foundation. It's strongly recommended to abide by the following templates:

The templates were discussed with Eclipse mentors:

We have decided here on the mailing list that we'll use the following convention for (maven) artifact and group names:
groupId: org.eclipse.microprofile.<subproject> for all subprojects (specs/features or any other project like conference app)
artifactId: microprofile-<subproject>-<submodule>
Examples:
org.eclipse.microprofile.config : microprofile-config-api - for the Config API
org.eclipse.microprofile.config : microprofile-config-tck - for the Config TCK
org.eclipse.microprofile.conference : microprofile-conference - for Conference Demo app
org.eclipse.microprofile.conference : microprofile-conference-session - for the session module of the Conference app
The same project will have the same groupId for all artifacts (including parent).
The CDI API classes should be placed in a subpackage inject of the API. E.g., if the API package is named org.eclipse.microprofile.abcspec, then the package name for the CDI API should be org.eclipse.microprofile.abcspec.inject. This is to follow the convention used in javax.inject and javax.enterprise.inject.
The discussion about this convention is on the mailing list here.
