Hi Felipe,
a rather beginner friendly task would probably be one of the sub tasks
of
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TOMEE-3234
to get familiar with the code-base, building the examples and
submitting pull requests via GitHub. For background: We had some
discussion on the linked issue on the mailing list [1] in April 2021.
Our examples contain a lot of mixed up dependencies (for example: APIs
i
n different version, ...), which do not necessarily match the versions
d
eclared in the TomEE pom.xml - in the past, we had failing unit tests
in
our examples due to such differences.
TOMEE-3234 is about replacing this mess by using so-called BOM
artifacts [2], which are generated by inspecting the binary
distribution packages during the Maven build (see
org.apache.tomee.bootstrap.GenerateBoms for details, if you want to get
an idea of the process). Consequently, these BOMs contain all
information about the different dependencies (and APIs) which are
distribute via the different TomEE flavours.
The idea of TOMEE-3234 is to replace the declaration of multiple
dependencies and apis with the related BOM dependency to ensure, that
library updates are passed into our examples.
PR-779 [3] is a good example for the sub-tasks listed in TOMEE-3234.
So the basic process would be: Check which TOMEE flavour is needed to
run the related examples and replace the directly declared dependencies
with a dependency towards the related BOMs as shows in [2].
If you like, you can grab a sub task, tell the list on which issue you
like to work and someone will assign it to you. In this way, we will
not do the same work twice.
Hope it helps. Feel free to ask.
Gruss
Richard
