h1. Step 4 - First steps with Z2 on SVN
[[Step_3_-_First_steps_with_Z2_on_Git]] describes how to develop Z2 applications with Git using the Eclipse IDE. Z2 also supports SVN which is shown on this page.
The overall approach is the same: The single parts of the z2-environment - such as the core, base, add-ons, application - are stored in repositories,
and Z2 loads the source code and 3rd party libraries directly from SVN using "SVNKit":http://svnkit.com/. In opposite to Git one will put the single z2-repositories
(we call them _component repositories_, because they are the sources for the z2 components) into one SVN repository installation.
h2. Prerequisites
You need a properly setup JDK 6 on Linux, Mac OS X or Windows - that's all.
A halfway modern system will do.
This how-to uses the "SVN":http://subversion.apache.org/ VCS, you just need to have the SVN client installed on your system (we're using SVN version 1.6 and 1.7).
You can also run Z2 with Git as described on [[Step_2_-_Install_and_run_in_5_minutes]] and .
It is benefical to use the Eclipse IDE (Ganymed, Helios or Indigo work all fine). There's a small Eclipse plugin called "Eclipsoid" which makes it easier to develop z2 applications within Eclipse (see Step 3 - First development steps for more details). However you can use any IDE (including vi and notepad) together with z2.
