Bug Reporting
-------------
The development team is very open to both bug and feature requests / suggestions. You can submit these on the [JIRA Issue Tracker](http://hub.spigotmc.org/jira/).
Compilation
-----------
Bukkit is a Java program which uses [Maven 3](http://maven.apache.org/) for compilation. To compile fresh from Git, simply perform the following steps:
* Install Maven and Git using your preferred installation methods.
* `git clone https://hub.spigotmc.org/stash/scm/spigot/bukkit.git`.
* `mvn clean install`.
We use maven to handle our dependencies.
Some IDEs such as [NetBeans](https://netbeans.org/) can perform these steps for you. Any Maven capable Java IDE can be used to develop with Bukkit, however the current team's personal preference is to use NetBeans.
* Install [Maven 3](http://maven.apache.org/download.html)
* Check out this repo and: `mvn clean install`
