        <h2>BeanShell Developer's Area</h2>
        <br clear="left">

        This section holds information and resources for BeanShell developers.
        <p></p>

        <section>
            <h2>GitHub Access </h2>
            <p>The latest code is always available from <a href="https://github.com/beanshell/beanshell">GitHub</a>.
                To check out a copy use the git command like so:
            </p>
            <p>
                <pre>
    git clone https://github.com/beanshell/beanshell
                </pre>
            </p>

            <p>
                You can report issues and other access other services through GitHub.
            </p>

            <h3>The BeanShell Source Code</h3>

            <p>The source distribution contains a brief
                <a href="CodeMap.html">Map to the Source Code</a> outlining the major files
                of the <em>bsh</em> package.
                It also contains the
                <a href="testsuite.html">BeanShell Test Suite</a>
            </p>

            <p>To compile all of the modules in the BeanShell distribution requires
                Java version 1.5+, however BeanShell itself is backwards compatible with
                Java version 1.1. The Ant build file has properties which can be adjusted to
                exclude building modules requiring Java versions 1.2, 1.3, or external APIs
                such as the servlet API, BSF, and javax.script.
                Development versions now use maven.
            </p>

            <p>If you want to change the
                core BeanShell grammar you will also need the open source
                <a href="https://javacc.org/">JavaCC</a> parser generator.
            </p>

            <h3>The BeanShell Test Suite</h3>
            <p>A language is a complex and deeply intertwined thing.
                The <a href="testsuite.html">BeanShell Test Suite</a> is a critical part of
                the development process that allows us to test changes in a comprehensive
                way.
                Often, what seems like a small change can have an unexpected impact on another
                part of the language.
                The test suite started as of
                a simple test harness script and about 120 test files: we currently use both junit and bsh test
                scripts.
                You can help by adding new scripts and improving or documenting the ones that are there.
                We especially need more complex environment related scripts to cover areas such
                as web applications, class reloading, etc.
            </p>

            <h3>Developer's List</h3>
            <p>We used to have a developer's
                <a href="contact.html">mailing list</a>.
