GX first Enterprise WCM vendor to promote open Java development
April 15, 2008 – GX WebManager, a leading platform for Enterprise Web Content Management, is now available as Community Edition free of charge. GX is the first Enterprise Web Content Management vendor to embrace this strategy promoting open Java development.
GX WebManager is an Enterprise Web Content Management system. Based on a J2EE architecture and using open technologies like Spring, JCR (JSR-170) and OSGi, it is designed to respond faster to the ever changing requirements of business and IT. Organizations that want to use the full potential of the Web need ease-of-development to be able to rapidly adapt to changing online trends. GX acknowledges that this ambition can only be achieved with the availability of a global community of talented Java developers.
With the launch of GX WebManager Community Edition, developers get access to the complete Web Content Management platform with a software development kit free of charge. Martijn van Berkum, CTO of GX: “GX WebManager Community Edition makes it surprisingly easy to build new functionality and add-on components, using well known tools and technologies. Developers will personally benefit from using the software by gaining experience in working with this unique combination of frameworks, open standards and technologies within the context of an Enterprise Web Content Management Platform.”
The community edition of GX WebManager is supported by a global community of developers at GX DeveloperWeb (www.gxdeveloperweb.com). This site offers documentation, software downloads, forums, issue tracking, a wiki, weblogs and other useful information. New add-on components can be deployed in runtime and shared with the community at an online exchange (www.wcmexchange.com).
