First of all, there is an internet browser and CVS installed. These allow to extract and push code in the Appli-Bus source tree. You need to register with us in order to get a CVS owner ID. Second, you need a good C++ compiler, and the make program. Third, you can be tooled with a UML package, and an IDE.

Get in touch with us. Perhaps your work can be part of an existing project, so you may opt to enter it. We can also open a code branch for your project if needed.

There are many ways to go, and your mileage will vary. Here is a general presentation of the main options you can face: - The one we want to promote most is to integrate your project with the core of Appli-Bus. When doing so, this means you release claims for patents and share the ownership of the code with us. In exchange, we take the task of maintaining and evolving the new extension in both Appli-Bus Open Edition and Appli-Bus Entreprise Edition; We can go further, according to the contribution type. Get in touch with us. - Second, you refuse to share ownership with us, but accept to keep your project in synch with the core of Appli-Bus so that the community can use your developments. In that case, the code branch is supported by you. There is a good chance your extension will go along Appli-Bus for a while. - Third, you decide to keep this extension for you. You close the branch, and you will need to keep in synch with Appli-Bus releases by yourself. There is little chance your extension will easily integrate with Appli-Bus releases in the long term.
