Compiling
=========
You can compile WorldEdit as long as you have the [Java Development Kit (JDK)](http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index-jsp-138363.html) for Java 8 or newer.
You only need one version of the JDK installed.
The build process uses Gradle, which you do *not* need to download. WorldEdit is a multi-module project with four modules:
* `worldedit-core` contains the WorldEdit API
* `worldedit-bukkit` is the Bukkit plugin
* `worldedit-sponge` is the Sponge plugin
* `worldedit-forge` is the Forge mod
* `worldedit-fabric` is the Fabric mod
## To compile...
### On Windows
1. Shift + right click the folder with WorldEdit's files and click "Open command prompt".
2. `gradlew build`
### On Linux, BSD, or Mac OS X
1. In your terminal, navigate to the folder with WorldEdit's files (`cd /folder/of/worldedit/files`)
2. `./gradlew build`
## Then you will find...
You will find:
* The core WorldEdit API in **worldedit-core/build/libs**
* WorldEdit for Bukkit in **worldedit-bukkit/build/libs**
* WorldEdit for Sponge in **worldedit-sponge/build/libs**
* WorldEdit for Forge in **worldedit-forge/build/libs**
* WorldEdit for Fabric in **worldedit-fabric/build/libs**
If you want to use WorldEdit, use the `-dist` version.
(The -dist version includes WorldEdit + necessary libraries.)
### Note regarding Forge builds
The build system used for forge (ForgeGradle) requires more memory than is usually given to Gradle by default.
If it fails, you should put `org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx3G` in `gradle.properties`.
Please don't commit this change!
## Other commands
* `gradlew idea` will generate an [IntelliJ IDEA](http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/) module for each folder.
* `gradlew eclipse` will generate an [Eclipse](https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/) project for each folder.
