• Subscribe to the cargo dev mailing list and ask as many question you'd like there!
• Create a JIRA issue on http://jira.codehaus.org (you'll need to register). I'll then add you to the cargo-developers group in JIRA and assign the issue to you
• Checkout Cargo from SVN trunk
• Understand the Cargo project's directory structure. Container implementations are located in trunk/core/containers/ContainerName.
• Have a look at existing container implementations (search for example for Resin3xLocalContainer or Orion2xLocalContainer).
• Create a org.codehaus.cargo.container.containerName package if it doesn't already exist. This package must be located in the trunk/core/api/container project (Note: we are in the process of moving container implementations to their own project and in the future you'll create that package in trunk/core/containers/containerName.
• Create the following classes:
  • A container implementation class named _ServerNameNxContainerType_Container where ServerName is the name of the container, N the version and ContainerType the type of container (Local or Remote). For example: JBoss3xLocalContainer.
  • A configuration implementation class named _ServerNameConfigurationType_Configuration where ConfigurationType can be StandaloneLocal or ExistingLocal. For example JBossStandaloneLocalConfiguration.
  • You may need to implement some ancillary classes but those are the main 2 required. Check how the other container are implemented to see how to implement them and what other classes you may need to implement.
• Cargo has an SPI that you should use and that should make it easy for you. Your container class should extend org.codehaus.cargo.container.spi.Abstract_ContainerType_Container and your configuration class should extend org.codehaus.cargo.container.spi.configuration.Abstract_ConfigurationType_Configuration.
• Register your new classes in the generic API in the Factory classes trunk/core/api/generic so that users can use your new container by using the generic API.
• Add your container to the tests in trunk/samples/java. This means editing the *Test.java classes and adding your container in the suite() method.
• Run the Cargo build to ensure everything is working. You'll probably find that you haven't followed the Cargo project's coding conventions... Fix those and build again until it passes!
• Register on Codehaus' confluence. Once this is done I'll add you to the cargo-developers user group so that you have the right to edit yourself the Cargo web site pages
• Document the new container on the Cargo web site
• Create a SVN patch and attach it to the JIRA issue you have created above
