            Nuxeo releases open source ECM platform Nuxeo EP 5.0.0.GA

    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", [1]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
        ([2]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.
