z2-Environment

h1. Sample Groovy in Z2

h2. Prerequisites

All you need is a JDK 6 distribution as described in [[Step_2_-_Install_and_run_in_5_minutes]]. 

h2. Setting up the sample

There is no further pre-requisite to running this sample, and you may proceed as described in [[How to run a sample]]. Here's the really fast version:

<pre><code class="ruby">

mkdir install

cd install 

git clone -b master http://git.z2-environment.net/z2-base.core

git clone -b master http://git.z2-environment.net/z2-samples.groovy

# on Linux / Mac OS:

cd z2-base.core/run/bin

./gui.sh

# on Windows:

cd z2-base.core\run\bin

gui.bat

</code></pre>

The first time you launch the sample will take a while. Watch the log output and keep an eye out for the following lines:
