Jerry, I had to download the source, run configure and make on a Linux system. The problem is that the source is made to build onto a docker system on Windows. Those of us who choose not to run docker and run a real operating system often have issues. Those .git files are from the .git repository. If you did a git clone, create your workspace from the local git repo or import existing maven projects into eclipse from the repo. This serves two purposes. 1, it allows you to keep your project up to date and 2, it allows you to commit if you have any changes to the existing code you want to push up for others.
I haven’t built anything after 3.3.0 was finalizedbecause the government finally approved 3.3.0 for use (ironically, they had been insisting that 3.0.4beta was safe to use in production and I outright refused to put that in place).
