all. Every reply would be of great value to us (and probably to other
developers) and everyone sharing his answers will be mentioned in the “Thank
You” section of our slides.

- What IDE do you use to edit your module resources (e.g. Eclipse, IntelliJ,
NetBeans, Text Editor, …)?
Netbeans

- Would you prefer another IDE that you can’t use because of any
restrictions (e.g. missing OpenCms VFS sync capability)? If so, which IDE
would you like to use?
No

- How do you sync your module resources from your IDE to the OpenCms VFS and
vice versa (e.g. IDE plugin, OpenCms Synchronization, WebDav, Network Share,
Cut & Paste)?
We have written a plugin for Netbeans
(https://github.com/componio/nbDriva), which uses internally the CmsShell
for the synchronization with extended methods for the creation of modules.
In addition we have implemented a one-way-synchronization procedure over CMIS.

- Do you use a version control system and if yes, which (eg. Git, svn, CVS, …)?
svn and Git

- How do you build module classes (e.g. javac, integrated IDE build system,
Maven, Gradle, …)?
Ant

- How do you package your modules to module zips (e.g. manual module export
from OpenCms, IDE plugin, Maven,  Gradle, …)?
We are using Ant, which uses the CmsShell to export a module and copies it
back into our project structure.

- How do you deploy modules to integration and/or production environments
(e.g. manual import of module zips in OpenCms, copy & paste of changed
resources, automated deployment using CI, …)?
x

- Do you use Continuous Integration for OpenCms modules and if yes, what
tools do you use (e.g. Jenkins, Hudson, Bamboo, …)?
We're planning to use Jenkins.
