We love open-source libraries! This project uses are few of them to make things easier. If you aren't using Maven or Gradle, you'll need these!
This project can be built with the latest Java Development Kit and Maven or Gradle. Maven and Gradle are used to simplify dependency management, but using either of them is optional.
For Maven, the command mvn clean package will build the project and will put the compiled JAR in target, and mvn clean install will copy it to your local Maven repository.
For Gradle, the command gradlew will build the project and will put the compiled JAR in ~/build/distributions, and gradlew install will copy it to your local Maven repository.

We've adopted the git flow branching model in our projects. The creators of git flow released a short intro video to explain the model.
The master branch is production-ready, but is not yet vetted for release. Only small patches and hotfix/x branches are pushed to master, and will always have a release version. The develop and stage branches are pre-production, and are where we push feature/x branches for testing.
Our release branches are named by version number, e.g. 1.0 and 1.1. We begin release branches with a beta (b1) designation and progress them through release candidate to stable. All open source releases (included pre-releases) are tagged.
