Contributing

We welcome contributions from the community. Please fork the repository, make your changes, and submit a pull request.

Please read our contributor guide before submitting any changes, thank you!

Please merge any changes into the next-update branch, not the main branch. This helps us to ensure that our snapshot builds are labelled as snapshot so that it is clear to users download them that they are still in development, and that any changes being made will work with future versions of Essence.

Build Process

• You will also need Maven for the mvn command, which can be installed here.
• Make sure that your version of JDK 21 includes JavaDoc.
