Welcome, you're in for a fun ride!
Basically what you need to do to create a patch for us to review, is
to first checkout the latest trunk from svn:
$ svn checkout https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jackrabbit/trunk
jackrabbit-trunk
Make sure you can build the source tree:
$ cd jackrabbit-trunk
$ mvn clean install
Then add your code to appropriate places in the Jackrabbit source
tree, and make sure all are tracked by svn:
$ svn status # shows you all the files you've added or modified
$ svn add ... # for each file that you've added
For example, in your case you'd add the extra persistence manager to a
new org.apache.jackrabbit.core.persistence.mongodb package under
jackrabbit-core/src/main/java and put any test code under
jackrabbit-core/src/test/java. Make sure that the main build still
works, and use "svn diff" to generate the patch:
$ mvn clean install
$ svn diff > mongodb.patch
Check that the patch looks OK and either send it here to the mailing
list or (better yet) create a new feature request in the Jackrabbit
issue tracker and attach the patch there.
Do that a few times, and you'll become a Jackrabbit committer. :-)
BR,
