Requires at least Java 17 (I use OpenJDK 18 on Linux.)

Building: Copy the appropriate POM file. mvn clean package Should leave a JAR file in the target folder.

Running: Depending on your java installation and OS, you may be able to double-click on the file. (On most linux distributions, you will have to explicity set the +x flag in file properties) Alternatively, from the command line:

Java -jar HDDEditorxxx.jar
