Hi everybody! A am a new contributor but a long user of NetBeans (since 2010). After using it so much including in commercial project I want to contribute to developing NetBeans.
I created an issue in the issue tracker: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-3929# and forked the NetBeans repository, created a branch, did some changes to code and tested it locally. What should I do next? Discuss the issue in the issue tracker? Wait for some response in the issue tracker or could I simply create a Pull requect? Should I change the state of the issue after starting to make some changes to code? What is the best practice here? Also, I have a question regarding adding comments to the codebase. Is it considered a good practice adding comments and javadocs to the existing codebase when working on fixing something? Here ( https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Submitting+Pull+Request+on+Apache+NetBeans ) i have not found the relevant information. There is the point "Don't change code that is correct and works." but is adding a comment considered changing the code?
