Hi Lamine...
I agree totally with Jacek. But if you want to go into the code
right away, I suggest this task for you
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENEJB-453
This issue is not so complicated and it will require you to read the
specs which is very good at this stage. I myself away from OpenEJB
development for a while and when I am back I will work on this issue
too for the same reason.
Just few advices on how to work on an issue:
1- Read and understand the issues.
2- When you find an issue that you want to work on, send an e-mail on
dev-list asking to be assigned to you.
3- Start working on the issue.
4- Make a patch.
5- Attach the patch to the issue on JIRA.
6- Send review request on dev-list.
7- Reviewer will commit your changes with a thank you :).
Have fun ;)
