WoW runs as a standard Java EE web application. You only need a Servlet (2.4 or later) compliant container and Java SE (5.0 or later) on a networked computer to build a new WoW site. All other dependencies including Ableverse™ Platform and a SQL database supported by Ableverse™ TheObjectBase are bundled with web archive releases of WoW for jump start deployment.

WoW has all its source code released under the open source Common Development and Distribution License, so you can develop and distribute more applications on basis of WoW of your own, under this open source license. The latest WoW 6 is built on the basis of Ableverse™ Platform 6, and needs SUN JDK (6.0 or later) to compile according to these tools. Build scripts for Apache Ant and project settings for Eclipse IDE and NetBeans IDE are supplied with the source relases. So you can greatly increase your productivity with these tools for WoW development.
