Development with Java and myWMS is not restricted to the tools we list here, but we recomend to used them. We do use those tools on our own and we know that those tools are working.

However - nothing is more intimate than the tool a developer uses. So feel free to operate the development environment whatever fits your needs best.

WinCVS

The source tree is available via Internet with CVS (Concurrent Versions System). We use a CVS server to distribute our sources. WinCVS is a nice tool to access and participate in our CVS server from a Windows desktop. You will find further information about CVS and WinCVS at

Apache's Tomcat

myWMS does have multiple front ends. One of them will is a (more or less) plain HTML front end, based on Java Server Pages (JSP) and servlets. As JSPs and servlets need a special server software, we use Tomcat to serve HTML, JSP and servlets. You will find further information about Tomcat at

http://tomcat.apache.org/

PostgreSQL

When it comes to keeping the state of myWMS persistent, we use standard relational database systems (RDB). Here we prefer the free PostgreSQL as one usable SQL server beside other commercial products. Postgres is - as a full featured RDB - not based on Java technologie. It may run under almost all current available Linux distributions and of course under Windows NT/2000/XP. You will find further information about PostgreSQL at

NetBeans

When it comes to plain code hacking, you might need a free IDE. myWMS grounds on Java technologie from Sun^© Microsystems. NetBeans is a Sun sponsored and free available IDE for Java, written in Java. You will find further information about NetBeans at
