[FEATURE] How to contribute to the repository?

[drosenbauer]

Please create (or we can create together) some sort of contribution guide for this repository.

Questions to answer so far:

• What parts of the repository are considered "internal" and shouldn't be touched?
• If code is added by a contributor, what Java packages to use? (I was thinking sailpoint.rdk.whatever)

Hey @drosenbauer,

I can create a first pass, and would definitely like to work together on it.

Q: What parts of the repository are considered "internal" and shouldn't be touched?

The repository is open source so any improvements that can be made, should be made. The only thing I wouldn't modify is the rule-java-docs jar. With that being said, your other issue #3 about putting that jar in maven central would alleviate any non-modifiable code.

Q: If code is added by a contributor, what Java packages to use? (I was thinking sailpoint.rdk.whatever)

There is a helper class that pulls the source out of the XML code to evaluate the rule. I just refactored to the package sailpoint.rdk.utils. That is a good package name to use for any extensions to the tool.
