Thank you for your interest in logback, the reliable, generic, fast and flexible logging library for Java.
The Logback documentation can be found on the project web-site as well as under the docs/ folder of the logback distribution.
Building logback is documented at:
https://logback.qos.ch/setup.html#ide
In case of problems please do not hesitate to post an e-mail message on the [email protected] mailing list. However, please do not directly e-mail logback developers. The answer to your question might be useful to other users. Moreover, there are many knowledgeable users on the logback-user mailing lists who can quickly answer your questions.
If you are interested in improving logback, great! The logback community looks forward to your contribution. Please follow this process:
-
Please file a bug report. Pull requests with an associated JIRA issue will get more attention.
Optional: Start a discussion on the logback-dev mailing list about your proposed change.
-
Fork qos-ch/logback. Ideally, create a new branch from your fork for your contribution to make it easier to merge your changes back.
-
Make your changes on the branch you hopefuly created in Step 2. Be sure that your code passes existing unit tests.
-
Please add unit tests for your work if appropriate. It usually is.
-
Push your changes to your fork/branch in github. Don't push it to your master! If you do it will make it harder to submit new changes later.
-
Submit a pull request to logback from from your commit page on github.
