You should be able to use any modern IDE to build ZAP.
Please also have a look at (and add to!) the Dev Tips and Tricks page.
You will need to manually import and configure the following projects into your IDE:
- https://github.com/zaproxy/zaproxy.git
- develop branch
- https://github.com/zaproxy/zap-extensions.git
- master, beta and alpha branches
- https://github.com/zaproxy/zap-core-help.git
- https://github.com/zaproxy/community-scripts.git
Please update this page with more detailed instructions for other IDEs!
Most of the ZAP Core Team use Eclipse, just make sure you use a recent version.
A guide to develop, run and build ZAP with Intellij can be found here.
Note that this out of date as it refers to ZAP projects on Google Code.
If you use another IDE for ZAP development then please let us know so that we can add the details to this page :)
If you're looking to build from the terminal using Ant, the dist target will build the generic, unpackaged executable.
ant -f build/build.xml dist
For details see the Contributing-Changes page (work in progress).
