Free Software
subshare is Free Software released under the AGPL. Its source codes are hosted here on GitHub.
Please feel free to check out the source codes and study them. It's a very good idea, anyway, to download the sources and build the binaries yourself. This is probably the most secure way of using this software, making it extremely difficult for an attacker to provide malicious code to you.
Furthermore, you are - of course - very welcome to contribute. Please contact us, if you want to lend us a hand.

Setting up a workspace
Step 1: Eclipse
Download and start Eclipse. The "Eclipse IDE for Java Developers" is recommended.
Step 3: Import projects
Open the "Java" perspective and click in the main menu on "File" => "Import…". Select "Maven" / "Existing Maven Projects". Search for the projects in your Git working copy and import "org.subshare.*".
If you do not find "Maven" here, you might still need to install m2e.
Step 4: DataNucleus Eclipse Plug-in
Install the DataNucleus Eclipse Plug-in, open the "Java" perspective, right-click the project "org.subshare.local" in the "Package Explorer" view.
Then select "DataNucleus" => "Add DataNucleus Support". Finally, repeat the double-click on the same project and check "DataNucleus" => "Enable Auto-Enhancement".
