Nuxeo is a comprehensive free software / open source Enterprise Content Management (ECM) platform. It has been designed to be robust, scalable and highly extensible, by using modern open source Java EE technologies, such as: the JCR, JSF, EJB3, JBoss Seam, OSGi, and a Service Oriented Approach. It can be used to develop both web-based server applications and Rich Client applications.
It currently covers the following functions of the ECM spectrum:
- Document management
- Collaborative Work
- Business process management (workflow)
- Compliance
- Records management
- Digital asset management (DAM)
History
The Nuxeo project was announced in September 2007 as a complete rewrite of the Nuxeo CPS platform and a migration from Zope and Python to Java EE technologies[1].
The first stable version, Nuxeo 5.0, was released in February 2007[2].
The current stable version, Nuxeo 5.1, was released in August 2007[3].
The next version of Nuxeo, Nuxeo EP 5.2, is under active development and scheduled for release in Q1 2009.
Architecture
The Nuxeo platform has the following parts:
- Nuxeo Runtime: this layer allows the whole platform to be easily deployed on different Java application containers (a Java EE 5 application server, an OSGi container such as Eclipse, etc.). It features a plug-in mechanism that any component can use to declare extension points that can be used by other components to extend the former one.
- Nuxeo Core: an embeddable document management core that provides the necessary low-level services to define, store, manage, audit and query content.
- Nuxeo Service Platform (SP): provides high-level content management services, including: indexing and search, workflow, relations, transformation, audit, etc. These services are provided to remote clients using several distributed computing protocols, such as EJB remoting, RESTful and SOAP web services.
- Nuxeo Enterprise Platform (EP): a web application framework built on top of Nuxeo SP, deployed in a Java EE 5 application server.
- Nuxeo Rich Client Platform (RCP): a desktop (rich client) platform built on top of Nuxeo SP.
- Nuxeo WebEngine: a lightweight content-centric web framework to quickly build and deliver next generation content-oriented web applications.
