Project setup documentation for developers

[mjablecnik]

Hello, I would like to help you with this project in my free time but I don't know how to start..
I have IntelliJ Idea Community Edition 2020.3, Java SDK version 17, cloned latest version of this repository and my setup configuration is here:

But when I run it so I gain only this:

And I don't know how to setup it correctly..

Can you write some documentation for developers about how to setup this project and how to build it?
Are you using Maven or Gradle build tool? I don't see any configurations for this tools in the project..

Thank you very much.. :-)

Currently, I use Ant as a build tool. See: build.xml
But I plan to adapt the build process also to Ivy and/or Maven.
It would be great if you could set up a build process with these or other tools and send a pull request.
But it's not a simple task.
Thank you for your contribution and ideas!

Absolutely impossible to build the project in it's current state. This is a bit worrying, not only we cannot help you develop the project, but the lack of reproducible builds pose a potential security threat. Please, @xnbox , if you still care even a little bit about this project, make this as the top priority issue that needs to be fixed. This is not an enchancement, not a "nice to have", this is a requirement for the project to survive.

I totally agree and will try to simplify the build process.
Thank you!
