Contributing to Apache Maven
======================

You have found a bug or you have an idea for a cool new feature? Contributing
code is a great way to give something back to the open source community. Before
you dig right into the code, there are a few guidelines that we need
contributors to follow so that we can have a chance of keeping on top of
things.

-------
This code is under the [Apache License, Version 2.0, January 2004][license].

See the [`NOTICE`](./NOTICE) file for required notices and attributions.

Donations
---------
Do you like Apache Maven? Then [donate back to the ASF](https://www.apache.org/foundation/contributing.html) to support the development.

Quick Build
-------
If you want to bootstrap Maven, you'll need:
- Java 17+
- Maven 3.6.3 or later

  behaviors behind a consistent user interface is much, much more difficult if
  the system can't tell whether it has access to the network required by these
  operations.

  Offline mode really means anticipating a lack of network connectivity, and as
  a result turning off certain services provided by m2 and providing a coherent
  way of predicting and reporting when network-related failures will take place.
