The z2-Environment is an open source infrastructure to develop, configure, and run modular, standards-based Java applications without build infrastructure nor deployment procedures and so reduces development operations costs significantly.

11 2 Redmine Admin
During development and maintenance you do not need to have a local build environment installed that complements your source code.
12 1 Redmine Admin
13
The z2-Environment rebuilds Java sources as required and selectively from your development workspace leading to fast development roundtrips and consistent deployments, and ultimately to minimized integration pains.

15 51 Henning Blohm
The Z2 component model makes developing modular Java solutions easy, comprehensible, and manageable. 
16
17
Z2 shines when used to develop, run, and maintain non-trivial solutions and in particular in conjunction with Hadoop and HBase.

h2. Add-ons
104 9 Henning Blohm
105 53 Henning Blohm
The z2 base distribution is really just the most basic but still practically useful set of z2 modules. Addon repositories provide additional modules that add complete feature sets. Addons are versioned along with z2 base and may be included by simply adding component repositories.

{{child_pages(Addons,parent=1)}}
108
109
When productising your solution, you will want to isolate yourself from intermediate changes outside of your control. See also [[How to create your own system]] for more information how Z2 accomplishes that with pure version control tool use.
