h1. Intro

This project is for the development of [[z2-environment:wiki|z2-environment]] version 3.0.

Version 3.0 is a major refactoring release of z2 with new repository code lines and complete package renaming.

Check out the roadmap at "roadmap":https://redmine.z2-environment.net/versions/27

h1. Essential Differences between v2.3 and v3.

* All the typical declarations and package names are no longer *com.zfabrik.<something>* but rather *org.z2env.<something>*

* The <z2 home> layout is completely new and more flexible

* The essential component types that can be _invoked_ from the core is *system state* and *main program*.

* While Jetty is still contained to support Eclipsoid and z2Unit, we support a pre-installed Tomcat as application container (and with TomEE would even get a Java EE profile)

* The core is lighter and more dedicated. 

* There will be substantially less built-in application support like

** a local JTA implementation 

** No worker suppport without a corresponding add-on.

The main task of v3 is:

* Make the lower parts of z2 more accessible and easier to understand: While z2 previously started System Centric, we now close the gap from the ordinary main program.

* Increase the OSS flavor of z2

Obvious TODOs:

* Test TomEE

* Fix Eclipsoid templates

* Support MVNCR, also for distributions
