Peter, this question belongs on the geoserver-devel list.
While is is possible to download the source zip file for 2.9.0, a git clone is much preferred if you are going to make changes. To make a new branch from the 2.9.0 tag: # clone the repository git clone git://github.com/geoserver/geoserver.git # change into the newly cloned repository cd geoserver # download all tags (as they are not cloned by default(?)) git fetch --tags # switch to the tag you want git checkout 2.9.0 # create a new branch (for example) "your-devel" from the tag git checkout -b your-devel Now you can make changes on this new branch and use git to manage them. Note that the 2.9.x branch is no longer supported and this project requires that pull request are first targeted at master, where new development occurs. You will still be able to share your new branch in your own GitHub/BitBucket/... repositories. You can build from source and import into Eclipse using the procedure in the developer manual. Kind regards, Ben.
