| 9 | +# Issues & Help |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +We are lucky to have a vibrant MongoDB Java community with lots of varying |
| 12 | +experience of using the Java driver. We often find the quickest way to get support for |
| 13 | +general questions is through the [mongodb-user google group](http://groups.google.com/group/mongodb-user) |
| 14 | +or through [stackoverflow](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/mongodb+java). Please also |
| 15 | +refer to our own [support channels](http://www.mongodb.org/about/support) documentation. |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +## Bugs / Feature Requests |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +If you think you’ve found a bug or want to see a new feature in the Java driver, |
| 20 | +please open a case in our issue management tool, JIRA: |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +- [Create an account and login](https://jira.mongodb.org). |
| 23 | +- Navigate to [the JAVA project](https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/JAVA). |
| 24 | +- Click **Create Issue** - Please provide as much information as possible about the issue type and how to reproduce it. |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +Bug reports in JIRA for the Java driver and the Core Server (i.e. SERVER) project are **public**. |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +If you’ve identified a security vulnerability in a driver or any other |
| 29 | +MongoDB project, please report it according to the [instructions here](http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/create-a-vulnerability-report). |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +## Pull Requests |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +We are happy to accept contributions to help improve the driver. |
| 34 | +We will guide user contributions to ensure they meet the standards of the codebase. |
| 35 | +Please ensure that any pull requests include documentation, tests and also pass |
| 36 | +a the gradle checks. |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +To get started check out the source and work on a branch: |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +```bash |
| 41 | +$ git clone https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-java-driver.git |
| 42 | +$ cd mongo-java-driver |
| 43 | +$ git checkout -b myNewFeature |
| 44 | +``` |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +Finally, ensure that the code passes gradle checks. |
