The developer environment can be set in any Operating System (Linux, Windows, etc.) since it is a multi-platform system, but Linux is recommended, because is what it is being used.

You need to install Maven, eclipse IDE and some plugins. For OpenKM 4.0 and 5.0 you have these requirements:

• Maven at http://maven.apache.org/
• Eclipse Galileo (Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers) at http://www.eclipse.org/galileo/
• Subversion eclipse plugin at http://subclipse.tigris.org
• Maven to eclipse plugin at http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org
• Java JDK 1.6 at http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp

Starting from Eclipse Helios you have a Marketplace accessible from Help > Eclipse Marketplace... Here you can search for "maven" to install the "Maven Integration for Eclipse" and "Maven Integration for Eclipse (Extras)" solutions. Also you can search for "subversion" to find the "Subeclipse" plugin.

Once all them are installed, you can download OpenKM and build it.
