Hi,
I went to the links below, but it's hard to figure out how to join
projects and also what projects to join, since I have not done java in
while. So I have no idea on what projects I can help with. I know core
java, jsp, servlets, jdbc. If anyone can guide me that would be great on
how to join the project and contribute based on my skill level.

Thank You
Suketu Patel

Definitely would love to have more volunteers working on Struts 2. Here
is a link

Thank you Travis and Steve.
So how does a Java greenhorn have at it in one of these forums?  Do I
just
go there and get on their chat board or discussion forum and say "Hey!
I'm
new to Java and I need experience...give me something to do!!!" ???
Thanks

Actually, the best way to get involved is to go to the issue tracking
software
being used to manage bugs, fixes, improvements, etc. and find something
you can
help with. Then work on the issue and provide patches. In the Apache
world, once
someone has demonstrated continued support they get nominated as a
committer.

Search the sites for their developer sections... 
Find their mail lists and/or issue trackers, sign up on everything.

Figure out their process for submission... usually amount to 
find an issue, 
create a fix, 
make a patch, 
attach patch to issue, 
mark issue as fixed, 
wait for a commiter to verify.Every project needs more test cases
written or elaborated on.  Usually that is the best and least risky way
to learn the system and process.
Once you understand the bigger problems you'll be able to suggest
features and work on enhancements.
