+= Overview
+
+You can develop Vaadin applications in essentially any development environment
+that has the Java SDK and a Java Servlet container. Vaadin has special support
+for the Eclipse and NetBeans IDEs, but community support exists also for
+IntelliJ IDEA. You can use it with any Java IDE or no IDE at all.
+
+Managing Vaadin and other Java libraries can get tedious to do manually, so
+using a build system that manages dependencies automatically is adviced. Vaadin
+is distributed in the Maven central repository, and can be used with any build
+or dependency management system that can access Maven repository, such as Ivy or
+Gradle, in addition to Maven.
+
+Vaadin has a multitude of installation options for different IDEs, dependency
+managers, and you can also install it from an installation package:
+
+* With the Eclipse IDE, use the Vaadin Plugin for Eclipse, as described in <<dummy/../../../framework/getting-started/getting-started-eclipse#getting-started.eclipse,"Vaadin Plugin for Eclipse">>
+* With the Vaadin plugin for NetBeans IDE ( <<dummy/../../../framework/getting-started/getting-started-netbeans#getting-started.netbeans,"Creating a Project with NetBeans IDE">>) or IntelliJ IDEA
+* With Maven, Ivy, Gradle, or other Maven-compatible dependency manager, under Eclipse, NetBeans, IDEA, or using command-line, as described in <<dummy/../../../framework/getting-started/getting-started-maven#getting-started.maven,"Using Vaadin with Maven">>
+* From installation package without dependency management, as described in <<dummy/../../../framework/getting-started/getting-started-package#getting-started.package,"Vaadin Installation Package">>
