## Starting Pixelitor in an IDE

Pixelitor requires Java 21+ to compile. When you start the program from an IDE, use **pixelitor.Pixelitor** as the main

class.

## Building the Pixelitor jar file from the command line

1. OpenJDK 21+ has to be installed, and the environment variable JAVA_HOME must point to the OpenJDK installation

   directory.

2. Install [Maven](https://maven.apache.org/install.html)

3. Check the Maven installation with `mvn --version`

4. Execute `mvn clean package` in the main directory (where the pom.xml file is), this will create an executable jar in the `target` subdirectory. If you didn't change anything, or if you only changed translations/icons, then you can skip the tests by running `mvn clean package -Dmaven.test.skip=true` instead.
