Reporting a security vulnerability

If you believe you have identified a security vulnerability in Strata, we encourage responsible disclosure via security-at-opengamma.com. Please ensure you provide full details to allow use to investigate properly.

Submitting a patch

If you have a patch for anything from a bug right through to a full-blown feature, the process for inclusion of your code into Strata is essentially the same.

  1. Fork Strata on Github.
  2. From your fork of Strata create a pull request in GitHub against OpenGamma/Strata:master (i.e. the master branch of the main repository).
  3. If necessary (particularly for large contributions) we will email you a legal indemnity form to sign and return.
  4. We will check your patch passes in CI and meets our quality standards (see below on how to get a patch accepted).
  5. If everything is fine your patch will be accepted and be merged. Thanks!

How to get a patch accepted

The easiest way to get a patch accepted is to follow these rules:

  • The patch must not break or remove any existing tests.
  • The patch must not break backwards compatibility.
  • The patch must meet our visual code standards (see here on how to get automatic formatting and templating).
  • If the patch is adding new features it must:
    • Include the appropriate new tests.
    • Include Javadoc and, if applicable, additional documentation.
    • Not add additional dependencies to Strata.
    • Not use proprietary classes e.g. sun.misc.Unsafe.
    • Be platform-independent (think file system differences etc.)
