Nuxeo 5

Nuxeo 5 is designed to enable building and running a large range of applications within the ECM scope, closely matching enterprises’ needs from the server to the desktop. Nuxeo 5 is a global solution ready to take on challenges of this new era of information management (Web 2.0, increasing quantity of digital information, lots of emails, online/offline, mobility, etc.).

Nuxeo 5 addresses the full range of the ECM scope, specifically:

* Document Management
* Digital Assets Management
* Collaboration
* Compliance (SOX, FDA, HIPAA, DoD…)
* Records Management
* Business Process Management
* Business Rules
* Retention Management
* Indexing and Search
* File Transformation

The Nuxeo 5 global solution is available in two editions that share components but address different targets:

* Nuxeo Enterprise Platform (EP) is a server-side platform (accessible from web or rich clients) to create large ECM applications (ex: heavy document management, federal collaboration platform, etc.).
* Nuxeo Rich Client Platform (RCP) is a framework, based on Eclipse RCP and Microsoft® Office™, to create rich client (desktop) applications related to document management or collaboration.

Those editions share the core components and offer applicative components dedicated to their target/business. Of course, Nuxeo RCP includes everything required to work seamlessly with Nuxeo EP.

For more information, please refer to the Nuxeo EP’s features.

EasyEclipse

This project was started from a search on Google. Although things have improved, this “Eclipse Download Hell” document still is the fifth document returned by a Google search for “eclipse download”. Clearly there is still room for improvement in the way Eclipse is distributed.

There is an incredible ecosystem around Eclipse, but the needs of individual developers are not yet particularly well-served. Some of the most common problems for a developer are:

* Very large downloads with many components or plugins you don’t need
* Too many similar plugins to choose from
* Version incompatibility between plugins and the Eclipse platform or other plugins
* Complex menus and cluttered user interface

Our focus is supporting Eclipse-based IDEs from the point of view of an individual developer or a small development team. As a developer, you need a specific and robust set of development tools in the smallest and simplest package possible – this is what EasyEclipse provides.

Each EasyEclipse distribution is tailored for a specific development environment with just the right functionality for that environment – no more complexity than necessary and one easy download and install procedure. And EasyEclipse is free.
