Re: Reporting Issues
+1 for this feature Thanks Brett to point this out!

Once I figure out the screen creation JIRA voodoo. - Brett On 06/06/07, Jason van Zyl [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: We only have this: http://maven.apache.org/guides/development/guide-m2- development.html#Creating%20and%20submitting%20a%20patch Which I will update and I was going to stick a big fat message on the issue creation screen.

Re: Reporting Issues
I'd like to take a stab at creating a more user-oriented version of http://maven.apache.org/guides/development/guide-m2-development.html. The current page is not something that users are like to stumble upon considering where it's at and its current contents. The new page will be aimed at users who has stumbled upon something that is not working, and the steps that they should be taking to get it resolved: Maven is not working - what should I do Here's an outline of what should be in there, in no particular order: - Searching the user-list archives - Asking on the user list - Submitting an issue (where, how, what to include etc.) - Creating a pom that can be used to verify that it is a bug - Creating a patch that fixes the problem And also stuff, which I don't have necessary skill to write about, which Jason touched upon in another mail: - Creating test cases - Creating integration tests Since this is a new page I'll start on a new one in svn, unless someone feels strongly against that. The other alternative being the wiki. Brett Porter wrote: (moved to dev@) Jason, Is there any way we can get this text into the issue submission form itself?
