API changes
-----------

We make changes to Guava's public [APIs][], including adding new APIs, very
carefully. Because of this, if you're interested in seeing a new feature in
Guava, the best approach is to create an [issue][] (or comment on an existing
issue if there is one) requesting the feature and describing specific use cases

- Select a Java 11 VM as "Gradle JVM"

NOTE: Due to the project size, the very first import can take a while and IntelliJ might become unresponsive for several seconds during this period.

Code Contributions
------------------

Get working code on a personal branch with tests passing before you submit a PR:

```
./gradlew clean check
```

Please make every effort to follow existing conventions and style in order to keep the code as
readable as possible.

Contribute code changes through GitHub by forking the repository and sending a pull request. We
squash all pull requests on merge.

### Typical Pull Request Workflow -

**1. New PR**

- As a contributor, you submit a New PR on GitHub.
- We inspect every incoming PR and add certain labels to the PR such as `size:`,
  `comp:` etc.  At this stage we check if the PR is valid and meets certain
  quality requirements. For example, we check if the CLA is signed, PR has
