Contributing to Java
You, too, can help shape the future of the world's most popular programming platform used by millions of developers globally! From spreading the word about popular new features to becoming a committer to OpenJDK, to joining the Java in Education initiative, this section highlights some of the areas in which you can help out.
Testing Things Out
Contributing to Java is not just about creating a new API. We're looking for people to test out early-access builds, impermanent features, innovation projects like Loom and Panama, testing 3rd-party libraries, and more.
Submitting and Searching for Bugs and Enhancements
Think you found an issue while testing out an early-access build? Want to suggest an enhancement? Then bugs.java is your destination. Here you can look up and submit issues, as well as get resources on the latest JDK versions, guides on securing, troubleshooting, and running performance tests, and more.
Promoting Java
There are also incredibly valuable ways to contribute to Java's success by just promoting it! This section delves into some of these ways like joining or starting a JUG, speaking at a conference, and writing about Java!
