Code conventions and housekeeping

None of these is essential for a pull request, but they will all help

  • Make sure all new .groovy files to have a simple Javadoc class comment with at least an @author tag identifying you, and preferably at least a paragraph on what the class is for.
  • Add the ASF license header comment to all new .groovy files (copy from existing files in the project)
  • Add yourself as an @author to the .groovy files that you modify substantially (more than cosmetic changes).
  • Add some Javadocs
  • Add unit tests that covers and new or modified functionality
  • Whenever possible, please rebase your branch against the current main (or other target branch in the main project).
  • When writing a commit message please follow these conventions. Also, if you are fixing an existing issue please add Fixes gh-nnn at the end of the commit message (where nnn is the issue number).
