Hippo HST2
Introduction
We are in the process of updating all Hippo Site Toolkit documentation to be inline with the most recent versions and features. Unfortunately, we have not yet moved this documentation to this website. For now you can find all documentation about the Hippo Site Toolkit on our wiki, see
https://wiki.onehippo.com/display/CMS7/Hippo+Site+Toolkit+2+Wiki+pages
The Hippo Site Toolkit 2 (HST2) is a set of tools that enables a developer to build websites by providing modular component based interaction and processing of any resources. URL mapping and link rewriting is handled for you. There is a clear separation between behavior (plain Java HstComponents), content (from Hippo Repository) and
presentation (JSP, Velocity, Freemarker etc.) Also, by default, you'll have a preview and live environment of your website.
Starting your own project
You can start your own project by automatically having the basics generated by maven from our HST2 archetype. Get started with the Hippo Trail here.
Learn more
You can learn more about the HST2 from the developer showcase and the documentation on the wiki and if you have questions, from our public forum or our mailing list. Hippo also offers you a training.
The Hippo HST2 is continually in development and you can follow what issues the developers are working on in our issue tracker. Issues you raise in the mailing list will be picked up by developers and added in the issue tracker.
