Source Code

The GeoServer source code is located at http://svn.codehaus.org/geoserver.

To check out the development / trunk version:

svn co http://svn.codehaus.org/geoserver/trunk geoserver

To check out the stable / branch version:

svn co http://svn.codehaus.org/geoserver/branches/1.7.x geoserver

Warning

The GeoServer repository contains a significant amount of spatial data. Checking it out over a slow or low bandwidth connection can be costly. In such cases it may be desirable to check out only the sources:

svn co http://svn.codehaus.org/geoserver/trunk/src
