 ## Development
 
+[Contribution guidelines for this project](CONTRIBUTING.md)

 JDK 17 is required to build the Stripe Java library. By default, tests use the same Java runtime as the build.
 To use a custom version of Java runtime for tests set the `JAVA_TEST_HOME` environment variable to runtime's
 home directory.
