Contribute to developer tools
Open Liberty works with all developer tools, so use whatever you like best! However, we'll be releasing updates to Eclipse developer tools that are tailored for the newest Open Liberty releases. With your contributions, these tools will evolve alongside Open Liberty to form a perfect pairing, making your workflow smoother.
Provide a test
Testing is an essential step to having a robust, helpful release. The more high quality tests we run before a release, the more headaches we save our users in the future.
