For small changes, please simply submit a

[pull request](https://github.com/lmdbjava/lmdbjava/pulls).

For larger changes, please

[open a GitHub issue](https://github.com/lmdbjava/lmdbjava/issues) first so that

we can discuss what you have in mind.

All engineering decisions require trade-offs, which is why we have an ordered list of

[priorites](https://github.com/lmdbjava/lmdbjava/blob/master/src/main/java/org/lmdbjava/package-info.java).

Please ensure your changes reflect those priorities.

Please use the current code as your style guide and run `mvn clean verify`

before submitting a pull request. This will execute Maven checks using PMD,

FindBugs, Checkstyle, XML Formatting, classpath duplication, dependency usage,

and dependency versioning plugins.

If you have any questions, please

[open a GitHub issue](https://github.com/lmdbjava/lmdbjava/issues) and we'll be

pleased to help.

Thanks for your interest in contributing!
