Compiling

You can compile WorldEdit as long as you have the Java Development Kit (JDK) for Java 7 or newer. You only need one version of JDK installed.

The build process uses Gradle, which you do not need to download. WorldEdit is a multi-module project with three modules:

worldedit-core contains WorldEdit
worldedit-bukkit is the Bukkit plugin
worldedit-forge is the Forge mod

To compile...

On Windows

Shift + right click the folder with WorldEdit's files and click "Open command prompt".
gradlew clean setupDevWorkspace
gradlew build

On Linux, BSD, or Mac OS X

In your terminal, navigate to the folder with WorldEdit's files (cd /folder/of/worldedit/files)
./gradlew clean setupDevWorkspace
./gradlew build

Then you will find...

You will find:

The core WorldEdit API in worldedit-core/build/libs
WorldEdit for Bukkit in worldedit-bukkit/build/libs
WorldEdit for Forge in worldedit-forge/build/libs

If you want to use WorldEdit, use the -shadow version.

(The -shadow version includes WorldEdit + necessary libraries.)

Other commands

gradlew idea will generate an IntelliJ IDEA module for the Forge module.
gradlew eclipse will generate an Eclipse project for the Forge version.
Use setupCIWorkspace instead of setupDevWorkspace if you are doing this on a CI server.

Note: Rather than setupDevWorkspace, setupDecompWorkspace would you give better decompiled code for developing the Forge mod, but it is currently incompatible with multi-module projects like WorldEdit.
