Dear Bisq Team,

I am a software dev engineer passionate about Software Design and development and interested in Bitcoin and exchanges.

I downloaded(git cloned) the code from:[https://github.com/bisq-network/exchange](https://github.com/bisq-network/exchange).

I created IntelliJ module(s) by running mvn idea:idea from command line(Windows).  
Then I imported the modules and dependencies.

When I open some code, say :  
io.bisq.core.crypto.ScriptUtil.

It is all in read saying missing libs and jars.  
Some files also say abstract method not implemented, like in:

```auto
CoreSeedNodesRepository

```

I am not that familiar with Java development myself, but I do know that Bisq has some dependencies. And other then the ones mentioned in the doc/build.md there are 3 other dependencies that for some reason were removed from the doc/build.md file at one point.

These dependencies are forks of libdohj, bitcoinj and btcd-cli4j, all found on GitHub at [https://github.com/bisq-network](https://github.com/bisq-network)

Try to run `mvn clean package verify -DskipTests -Dmaven.javadoc.skip=true` in console firstly.

If you use IntelliJ you can check out the project directly and all works like a charm. Seems your setup has some issues. Try to refresh maven.
