OpenKM Document Management System

Thought I would pass this along, there's a free community edition available. I tried the online demo and it was pretty responsive and feature rich. Even has some subversion built in which is a huge plus:

Cool, that's good to know. Is anyone using it?
-
Dropbox and Google Drive integration. That's very interesting.

It is, yes.
-
It requires Java? Really?
-
-
I'm not a programmer so I'm looking for some confirmation - the above does indicate that this product is written in, and requires the end user to have Java installed?
-
Yeah, it uses some Java. It works great from within Chrome though, rendered PDF's , TXT files, Word Docs, etc. I'm quite impressed with it and may give it a try with some of the Google Drive and Dropbox functionality.
-
I don't use chrome - are you saying Chrome has Java built into it so I don't have to install it for my system?

No browser has Java built in today (or ever as far as I know. ) Chrome has Flash built in though.

You are reading the installation requirements. Java is 99% of the time a server side technology. Tomcat is a server side Java container.
This is a web app, on the client you just need a browser.

It used Java in the client? That seems very unlikely.

Nothing it what you showed as requirement suggests any Java on the client.

When I tried to invoke the demo it tried envoking Java on my client.

That sucks. What a bad design decision. But it remains unrelated to the install requirements that you were looking at. Java on the server and Java on the client share no relationship.

Understood
I wonder if I did my own install if it would still require Java on the client side or it's simply their implementation on their server?

I tried the demo. Yup they used Java. What a fail!

OK Good I'm not crazy... at least about this!

Doing your own install won't change anything. It's the interface of the app that requires Java. Only a code change will change that.

Fast forward >>>> I was evaluating DMS and it seems like OpenKM did change the code, as it appears to not require any client-side java anymore.
