CVS

All source code is available directly from our repository. Source can be checked out from our anonymous CVS server. To do so, simply use the following commands (if you are using a GUI CVS client, configure it appropriately):

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.openedit.org:/src login
             password: anonymous

The main Open Edit developers use the Eclipse Java IDE on Windows and Linux, along with the Resin app server. Therefore, the main Open Edit module in CVS is preconfigured for use with those two tools. You will want to checkout openedit openedit-editor and resin3.x to get started. We have added launchers in the /etc directory for eclipse.
