Sourcecode

You can download the source code from our Sourceforge SVN repository. Configure your Subversion client as follows:

• - Hostname: svn.code.sf.net
• - Port: 443
• - Protocol: http
• - Repository Path: p/saddle/code/trunk

For clients that use a URL string:
svn checkout http://svn.code.sf.net/p/saddle/code/trunk

No authentication is required for read access.

After the checkout NetBeans will display a lot of build errors. Simply build the whole suite once to get rid of them as some dependencies will automatically be built and put into the right places by the build script.

How to contribute?

We welcome any kind of contribution. If you want to participate in the Saddle adventure, you may:

• - Contact us for any information or idea you don't want to post on the forum

Where to start?

The best place to start is probably the technical documentation. This document explains the basic structure of Saddle and how it has been built around the NetBeans platform. We recommend to read "The Definitive Guide to NetBeans™ Platform 7" before diving into the real development as it explains a lot of the principles of NetBeans that have been used and extended in Saddle.
