At the very least, respect the settings in .editorconfig. Some IDEs like InjelliJ support EditorConfig
out of the box. For others like Eclipse, there are plugins available.
For more advanced and Java specific styling, please use the intellij-java-stagemonitor-style.xml when developing
with IntelliJ. When using Eclipse, it would be awesome if you could contribute a formatter which is based on the one
for IntelliJ. Otherwise, just try to not screw up the formatting too much (especially imports in existing classes).
If you want to submit a non-trivial pull request like implementing a new feature, you have to sign a CLA. But don't worry, the process is really simple.
To sign the CLA (which was created with Harmony), all you have to do is to
include an additional file to your pull request under cla/contributors/[your-github-userid].md. The content of the
file differs if you are a individual or are contributing on behalf of an entity.
(This method of CLA signing is borrowed from Medium's open source project.)
If you are contributing on behalf of your employer, or as part of your role as an employee, you have to read and sign the (entity CLA) in the name of your employer. You have to make sure that that's okay before you sign. Note that you also have to sign the individual CLA to cover any contributions which are not owned by your employer (for example if you contribute in your spare time).
Put the following in the file cla/contributors/[your-github-userid].md:
[date (yyyy-MM-dd)]
I hereby agree to the terms of the Entity Contributors License
Agreement, with MD5 checksum 3230b63601162567219de517a1be22b4.
I furthermore declare that I am authorized and able to make this
agreement and sign this declaration.
Signed,
[your full name], [name of employer]

I hereby agree to the terms of the Individual Contributors License
Agreement, with MD5 checksum 3455f69ed223b9e5712f8bb3abf38190.

agreement and sign this declaration.

You can confirm the MD5 checksum of the CLA by running the md5 program over cla-entity-1.0.md:
md5 cla-entity-1.0.md
MD5 (cla-entity-1.0.md) = 3230b63601162567219de517a1be22b4
If the output is different from above, do not sign the CLA and let us know.
If you are a individual wanting to contribute, you have to read and sign the (individual CLA)
Put the following in the file cla/contributors/[your-github-userid].md:
[date (yyyy-MM-dd)]
I hereby agree to the terms of the Individual Contributors License
Agreement, with MD5 checksum 3455f69ed223b9e5712f8bb3abf38190.
I furthermore declare that I am authorized and able to make this
agreement and sign this declaration.
Signed,

You can confirm the MD5 checksum of the CLA by running the md5 program over cla-individual-1.0.md:
md5 cla-individual-1.0.md
MD5 (cla-individual-1.0.md) = 3455f69ed223b9e5712f8bb3abf38190
If the output is different from above, do not sign the CLA and let us know.
