--- Comment #3 from Mark Murphy <jmarkmur...@apache.org> ---
Check out the trunk from the repository

Information about the repository is here:
https://poi.apache.org/subversion.html

Build the project. Information Here: https://poi.apache.org/howtobuild.html

Make sure you can successfully run all the tests, the ant jenkins task is good
for determining that everything is configured properly. You can tell if tests
are currently passing for us by looking here:
https://builds.apache.org/job/POI/

If you are getting deifferent results, then you need to fix your environment
before you do anything else. Not the ant tasks should download all
dependencies.

Then you are ready to develop your patch. Once you have a patch complete and
all jenkins tasks run successfully, see the contribution guidelines here:
https://poi.apache.org/guidelines.html

Please realize that XWPF is not a stable interface. I am just starting a plan
to clean it up, and move it forward into a consistent interface. Initial ideas
can be found here: https://github.com/JMarkMurphy/poi/wiki, they are totally
incomplete and a work in progress. The point is the entire XWPF interface is a
jumble of individually designed pieces and parts thrown together into a big
pile. Things will be changing though. Try to keep as much CT code in
org.apache.poi.xwpf.model as you can, and only put user interface stuff in
org.apache.poi.xwpf.usermodel. This will be a challenge as currently usermodel
is not much more than a surrogate for the CT classes, and model contains very
little that is useful (or even used?).
