Nuxeo has just released the first stable version of Nuxeo EP 5.0, the leading open source ECM platform.
Nuxeo ECM solutions are built on the experience accumulated for 5 years by Nuxeo and community members building mission-critical ECM applications (web content management, document management, records management, collaboration, intranet portals and workflow) for major customers, using previously Zope technologies, and now Java EE 5, JBoss Seam and OSGi.
Nuxeo EP has been designed to be fully extensible and customizable, so as to make it easier both for contributors to participate in the project, and for system integrators to build customers applications. Our motto in that respect is: "Not just a product, a platform".
Nuxeo EP is open source software, under a business-friendly license (EPL and/or LGPL), developped in the open and supported by Nuxeo SAS and third party system integrators and ISVs.
Features highlights for this release
- Full document lifecycle, including versionning, check-in /check-out, etc.
- Access rights management.
- Workflow, including document approval.
- Relations between documents.
- Audit trails.
- Drag'n'drop document management inside the web browser.
- User-convenient desktop and office suite integration using plugins for IE, Firefox and MSOffice.
Technical highlights
- Based on an "embeddable ECM core", Nuxeo Core, which can be embedded both in server-side applications like Nuxeo EP, and client-side like in the forthcoming Nuxeo RCP rich client for ECM.
- Based on modern Java EE 5 technologies: JSF, JCR (Java Content Repository), EJB3, JBoss Seam, jBPM, OSGi...
- Fully extensible using an extension points and plugin system (Nuxeo Runtime), very similar to the Eclipse plugin system and based on OSGi.
- Uses XML schemas (XSD) as the schema language for defining content types.
- Includes 3000 unit tests.
