Tip
titleHow to create a Jira issue
  1. Create an account here, if you do not have one
  2. Login
    1. (optional)Search if an issue for what you are after already exists by using the "Find issues"
    2. (optional)If an issue on the subject already exists you can add a comment on it
  3. If a issue does not exist, create a new one selecting the "create new issue" command. For details on the issue creation see here
  4. Select the OFBiz project and the issue type.
  5. Fill in all fields, give as many detail you think necessary
    • Generally it is very important to select in the "Affect version" field the ofbiz version you are running. If you are running the trunk then the SVN revision should also be specifyed in the Environment field
    • Use the Environment field to specify at least your operating system and the database ofbiz is using since these information could be very useful to help people to work on the issue
  6. If you need to attach files such as patches you must do it as a second step after the issue creation. It is also possible to easily attach screenshots to the issue see here
    • When attaching files or screenshots you can add a comment where you explain how the attached file is supposed to be used. Please reference the file name in the comment because more files could be attached to the issue at a later time and they will be all listed togheter far from their comments.
    • Also please use preferably .patch as extension for patches. If updating an attached file keep the same name : Jira is able to deal with that and will simply gray old files, you don't need to delete them (sometimes its usefull to compare older patches versions)
  7. Jira offers a voting mechanism that is used to give more relevance to the issues (see here to learn more)
