+

=== Check whether it's working with SWT / RCP ===
+
 
+
== Where to submit ==
+
 
+
== What to Include in the Bug Report ==
+
 
+
=== Bug Description ===
+
 
+
The bug description should be as short and exact as possible.
+
It should contain:
+
* Your environment (operating system, browser type and version, RAP version)
+
* The steps to reproduce the behavior described
+
* The expected outcome / solution
+
 
+
=== Provide a Code Snippet ===
+
 
+
If the bug only occurs under certain circumstances, it's helpful if you can provide a snippet to reproduce.
+
* The snippet should be as simple as possible.
+
* The snippet should be self-contained (i.e. not rely on third-party code) and fit into one single class.
+
* The snippet should be runnable without hacking, i.e. it should implement IEntryPoint.
+
 
+
=== Provide a screenshot ===
+
 
+
Remember that we don't have your exact desktop environment and browser.
+
If you describe some visual misbehavior, a screenshot helps us understand your problem.
+
 
+
The best image formats for screenshots is PNG or GIF.
+
JPG is for photographs (is has lossy compression),
+
uncompressed image formats like BMP, TIFF, etc. are just too big and take too long to download.
