If you don't have them already, you need to install some prerequisites:

• Git
• Java 8 JDK
• Gradle
• GitHub Desktop (optional)

The project comes with some useful tools that will help you automatize some common tasks:

• gradle clean to clean up the files generated by the build process
• gradle build to build and compile the entire project
• gradle test to run unit tests
• gradle javadoc to generate the javadoc

To start developing you can follow the simple workflow described below.

1. Develop a new feature with unit tests
2. Run gradle test
3. If tests fail, fix the code and go back to step 2
4. If you need to add more features, go back to step 1
5. Run gradle clean build
6. Open a new Pull Request
7. Let others review your code
8. Marge the pull request into the master branch

At the end of this workflow you should have a unit tested version of project that is ready for use.
