- Improvements to Maven configuration.

Guidelines for any code contributions:

  1. Any significant changes should be accompanied by tests. The project already
     has good test coverage, so look at some existing tests if you're unsure
     how to go about it.
  2. All contributions must be licensed Apache 2.0 and all files must have a
     copy of the boilerplate license comment (can be copied from an existing
     file).

* For user facing features, what will the API look like?
* What test cases should it have? What could go wrong?
* How will it roughly be implemented? We'll happily provide code pointers to save you time.

We may ask you to answer these questions directly in the GitHub issue or (for large changes) in a shared Google Doc.

If you've found a bug, please contribute a failing test case so we can study and fix it.

If you have a new feature idea, please build it in an external library. There are
[many libraries][works_with_okhttp] that sit on top or hook in via existing APIs. If you build
something that integrates with OkHttp, tell us so that we can link it!

Before code can be accepted all contributors must complete our
[Individual Contributor License Agreement (CLA)][cla].

start by trying one of the smaller/easier issues here i.e.
[issues with the "good first issue" label](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/labels/good%20first%20issue)
and then take a look at the
[issues with the "contributions welcome" label](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/labels/stat%3Acontributions%20welcome).
These are issues that we believe are particularly well suited for outside

- Favour a working external library if appropriate.  There are many examples of OkHttp libraries that can sit on top or hook in via existing APIs.
- Get working code on a personal branch with tests before you submit a PR.
- OkHttp is a small and light dependency.  Don't introduce new dependencies or major new functionality.
