Any feedback that you might have is welcome!  If you find\nthat something is not working, have an idea for a new feature or simply if something is not to your liking, let us know!\nYour help is invaluable.\n\nThere are various things you can do to help Hop continue moving forward quickly:\n\n- Log bugs, request features in [GitHub](https://github.com/apache/hop/issues)\n- Ask questions in the [mailing lists](https://hop.apache.org/community/mailing-list/)\n  or [GitHub Discussions](https://github.com/apache/hop/discussions)\n- Help us write or fix documentation (lot of opportunities)\n- Translate Hop. See our [i18n guide](https://hop.apache.org/dev-manual/latest/internationalisation.html).\n- help fix some [sonar issues](https://sonarcloud.io/dashboard?id=apache_hop)\n\nCheck our [Contribution Guide](https://hop.apache.org/community/contributing/) and\nthe [Hop website](https://hop.apache.org) for more information on how to contribute.\n\n## Building Apache Hop\n\n### From source repository\n\nRequired:\n\n- [OpenJDK](https://openjdk.java.net/) Java 21 compiler. Make sure to update your JDK to the latest possible patch\n  version.\n\nRecommended:\n\n- [Maven](http://maven.apache.org/) 3.6.3 or higher\n\nVerify Maven Java version: (should be Java 21 to compile properly without skipping tests)\n\n    mvn -version\n\nClone Hop to a local repository:\n\n    $ git clone https://github.com/apache/hop.git\n\nChange into the clone repository and build: \\\nWe provide two ways to build the code, if you have the correct Maven version installed you can use following commands:\n\n    $ cd hop \n    $ mvn clean install \n\nWe have also added mavenwrapper which simplifies build by using the correct Apache Maven version when it is not\navailable on the system\n\n    $ cd hop\n    $ ./mvnw clean install\n\n### From release archive\n\nYou can download a source release [here](https://downloads.apache.org/hop/)\n\nRequired:\n\n- [OpenJDK](https://openjdk.java.net/) Java 21 compiler or higher. Make sure to get the latest updates to support recent\n  features like dark mode on the various platforms.\n- [Maven](http://maven.apache.org/) 3.6.3 or higher\n\nVerify Maven Java version: (should be Java 21 to compile properly without skipping tests)\n\n    mvn -version\n\nUnzip the archive\n\n    $ tar -xf apache-hop*.tar.gz\n\nChange into the clone repository and build: \\\nWe provide two ways to build the code, if you have the correct Maven version installed you can use following commands:\n\n    $ cd apache-hop-*\n    $ mvn clean install\n\nWe have also added mavenwrapper which simplifies build by using the correct Apache Maven version when it is not\navailable on the system\n\n    $ cd apache-hop-*\n    $ ./mvnw clean install\n\n## Run Apache Hop\n\nAfter a successful build, the Hop UI can be started.\n\n    $ cd assemblies/client/target\n    $ unzip hop-client-*.zip\n    $ cd hop \n\nOn Windows, run `hop-gui.bat`, on Mac and Linux, run `hop-gui.sh`\n\nHelp us to improve Hop by logging issues in [GitHub Issues](https://github.com/apache/hop/issues)\n\nThis distribution includes cryptographic software.
