The z2-environment is not a make tool like ant or maven. It's not a replacement for JEE servlets or other JEE techniques. It's not a Spring competitor. And it's not a new way to write software like aspect orientated programming.

h3. How do I install the z2-environment

One of the basic z2 paradigms is: "Don't install, just copy and run". The big benefit of a system-centric approach like z2 is, that the configuration is part of the system; it's like the source code (and there are good reasons to put configuration into code sometimes). The [[Glossary#SCM|SCM]] should contain everything to get your system up a running. You got a new team member? "Copy" the system and start it. You have to scale out your productive site? Just copy the system to the new nodes and start them. "Copy" here means either "do a SVN checkout" or a "Git clone". The advantage over a plain copy is, that you can easily update or system with a simple "svn update" or "git pull".
