# Third‑Party Tools

In addition to the ONEWEB Platform itself, certain third‑party tools are recommended to support **customization, collaboration, and source code management**.\
These tools are not mandatory for basic usage but are commonly used in enterprise and advanced development scenarios.

***

### Git Server (Version Control)

For managing customized source code and enabling team collaboration, it is recommended to use **Git** as the version control system.

Git can be used to:

* Manage customized code created alongside ONEWEB‑designed applications
* Enable collaboration across multiple developers
* Track changes and maintain version history

You may use **any Git‑compatible server**, either:

* Hosted on‑premises, or
* Provided as a cloud‑based service

The choice of Git server should align with your organization’s development workflow and security policies.

***

### Eclipse IDE (Code Customization)

For advanced customization that requires manual coding, **Eclipse IDE** is recommended as the development environment.

Eclipse is typically used when:

* Extending or customizing ONEWEB‑generated applications
* Editing Java‑based components
* Working with integration or backend logic

Recommended setup:

* **Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers**
* **Eclipse Mars version or later**
* Compatible **Java version** based on the ONEWEB release in use

Eclipse can be downloaded from the official Eclipse website.

> Ensure that the Java version configured in Eclipse matches the Java version required by your ONEWEB platform version.

***

### How Third‑Party Tools Fit into ONEWEB

From a platform perspective:

* **ONEWEB Designer Studios** cover most low‑code and visual development needs
* **Third‑party tools** are used only when deeper customization or team‑based code management is required

This approach allows teams to start quickly with visual tools and introduce external development tools only when necessary.

***

### Summary of Third‑Party Tool Requirements

Depending on your use case:

* Git is recommended for source control and collaboration
* Eclipse is recommended for advanced code‑level customization
* Neither tool is required for basic low‑code application development
