The standard way I use is to run "ant javadoc" which I made sure was error free just the other day before the 0.11.0 release.

The command shown to get a copy of the master tree at: https://sourceforge.net/p/freecol/git/ci/master/tree/ is the place to start. The usual procedure is that new contributors just send patches here, and after <small number> of useful ones you get added to the project with write commit privilege (see http://www.freecol.org/how-to-contribute.html). As a suggestion --- you mention using c# which suggests you are using windows --- we have a bunch of grief occurring in the shiny bright 0.11.0 release on windows when using full screen mode (see https://sourceforge.net/p/freecol/discussion/141200/thread/5eebcfcc/). How about trying to track that down? We have no current regular code contributor that uses windows. Cheers, Mike Pope
