Development

You will need:

• A GraalVM (< 0.26) or a JDK8 built with JVMCI. You can download either from:
  • http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/oracle-labs/program-languages/downloads/index.html
• Maven

To build:

mvn compile

To run you will currently need to hack the shen-truffle script to use your GraalVM/JVM.
