I am seeking approval for committing geoserver fixes or improvements. Based on the procedure outlined at http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/developer/policies/committing.html#comitting I have created a github account with user id wmstoval and have also filled out the corporate contributor agreement, signed by our vice president.
Please review the agreement I sent to info@anonymised.com and let me know if there’s anything out of order.
I’m in the process of learning the development tools leading up to creating a pull request for my proposed changes which will initially be a fix for https://osgeo-org.atlassian.net/browse/GEOT-5239
I’ve forked the conical repository and created an eclipse workspace to develop my change. This will be a change to gt-jdbc-oracle-15-SNAPSHOT.jar, the OracleDialect class.
In my eclipse workspace I just have the JAR, so OracleDialect.java is not a writeable source file. In spite of that I’ve done the development by creating a src folder and putting my modified OracleDialect there so it comes first on the classpath. But of course that’s only good for some debugging.
I would like to checkin my changes and create a pull-request. But how would I get the SNAPSHOT sources into my workspace so I can make the proposed change where the OracleDialect source really lives?
Thank You – I look forward to contributing to this great product!

Excuse me – I was confused. I do want to contribute to GeoServer but GeoTools is actually where the bug I want to fix is. I’m working on building that, applying my change, submitting a pull request.
