Most users will not need access to source code. For those that do, it is available in two forms.
(a) The raw source (with latest patches) is in a Git repository at https://saxonica.plan.io/projects/saxonmirrorhe/repository.
(b) For convenience, a zip file is made available which contains preprocessed source code that can be loaded directly into an IDE. See the source folder; the latest version is saxon10-9source.zip.
