Welcome to the BaseX Open Source project. We are interested in your feedback:

• Please send new suggestions and bug reports to ourbasex-talk mailing list.
• Confirmed bugs and feature requests are discussed in our issue tracker.
• We invite you to contribute to ourDocumentation.

The code base of BaseX can be accessed on [GitHub]:https://github.com/BaseXdb/basex

JDK 17 and JUnit are currently required to compile the complete sources of themain project. Our default IDE is Eclipse.

You can launch the following classes, which are all placed in the basex-coredirectory and theorg.basex main package:

BaseX        : console modeBaseXServer  : server instance, waiting for requestsBaseXClient  : console mode, interacting with the serverBaseXGUI     : graphical user interface

Moreover, try-h to list the available command line options. For example, youcan use BaseX to process XQuery expressions without entering the console.

BaseX is being developed with the Eclipse environment. Some style guidelinesare integrated in the sources of BaseX; they are being embedded as soon as youopen the project.

The following steps can be performed to start BaseX with Eclipse:

• PressRun →Run...
• Create a newJava Application launch configuration
• Selectbasex as Project
• Choose aMain class (e.g., org.basex.BaseXGUI)
• Launch the project viaRun
