For Developers
At Nuxeo, we understand the needs of developers, because we're developers, too. Following are some resources that we use in our software engineering processes. The Nuxeo Platform is open source, and we're sharing, because we want you to build great applications. Get started here.
Get the Nuxeo Platform
For production-ready applications, you'll need the latest release. You can download the latest GA release of the Nuxeo Platform, with packages for Linux Ubuntu/Debian, Mac OS X and Windows, as well as OVF and VMWare ready-to-run Virtual Machine images. The platform is entirely open source, so there is never a license fee. | Source Code
The Nuxeo Platform source code is openly developed on GitHub.

Previous Versions
We provide open access to previous versions of the Nuxeo technology, including source code. Before consolidating all modules on the Nuxeo Platform, there was Nuxeo DM, Nuxeo DAM, and Nuxeo CMF. Even before that, there were iterations of Nuxeo EP. | Daily BuildsIf you want to view and test some of the newest features in our currently unreleased development version, you can download a snapshot. Feel free to play, and send us feedback or tell us about any bugs you find, but be aware that these are packages are not maintained or supported. | |
Tour the Agile Software Factory
At Nuxeo, we value craftsmanship. Our software factory includes a set of agile, integrated tools and processes to support developers so they can create great applications. Take a look at the tools you can use for your project. | Issue TrackingWe use JIRA to track bugs, improvements, new features, and even Marketing tasks and projects. Our issue database is open and viewable, so you can refer to it as you build your own application. | |
Nuxeo Studio is an online environment for configuring and customizing the Nuxeo Platform. With an easy-to-use graphical interface, Nuxeo Studio has an extensive set of tools for custom feature building and application branding without writing code. Error checks and version compatibility help you build your solution with confidence, and much faster. |
Functional and Load TestingFunkLoad enables functional and load testing of web applications. Written in Python, FunkLoad was created for testing the Nuxeo technology. Its main use cases are:
FunkLoad is an open source tool to help developers build better applications, built and maintained by Benoit Delbosc. And the word is out - FunkLoad averages about 25,000 downloads per year. | |
Continuous Integration and QualityOur CI and QA systems have been optimized over the years to provide a high quality, responsive environment for developing the platform. For CI, we use Jenkins. One example of metrics we follow with Jenkins shows the performance trends of the platform (it uses Funkload for the report). Nuxeo DevOps Engineer Julien Carsique was invited to talk about our CI processes at the Jenkins User Conference in Paris.

Nuxeo IDE is an Eclipse-based Integrated Development Environment for extending the Nuxeo Platform cleanly. Nuxeo IDE features hot reload, automated dependency management, code completion, integration with the Nuxeo Shell, and much more. Even better, Nuxeo IDE is fully compatible with Nuxeo Studio, so you can extend, configure, and customize the Nuxeo Platform in sync. You can get the Nuxeo IDE from the Eclipse Marketplace. Follow the documentation for downloading and configuring a Nuxeo SDK. | |
Maven BuildThe Nuxeo Platform build mainly relies on Maven. We've documented our use of Maven, so you can benefit from our experience. We also provide some plugins, such as nuxeo-distribution-tools, a packaging tool integrating Maven and Ant that is responsible for building the final packages (also called distributions). Our repository contains the results of every build (bundles, source code, Javadoc, distributions) so they can be easily accessed through IDEs or any Maven-compatible tool. | ||
