How to join the developer team?
Hello i'm a software engineering student and looking for an open source software project to join. Now my eye felled on sweethome 3d which I found on sourcforge.com, and i came to the conclusion that this is the type of project i would like to join because:
- it is written in java
- It uses 3d and 2d views
- The subject seems to be highly suitable for an easy to understand object oriented
Design.( walls, doors, windows, floors etc)
- I have studie building engineering before my current study and I would like to know how this kind of software is made.
- It seems to be a quality piece of software.

But now my questions are as followed:
- How can I contribute to the project?
- I can't open the eclipse project that is in the source code directory. Can i also use netbeans?
- Do you use UMl for the design?
- What kind of techniques do you use for the 3d view?
- Is there any prerequisite for joining the project?
- Is there a special developer website / envoirment.

I would love to hear some answers. Thnx in advance.
