Eclipse Apogée

Why Apogée? (1/2) • ECM desktop applications, the Eclipse way! • Build a core infrastructure and a family of components targeted to ECM-oriented desktop applications • Components should be independent enough to be used separately • Leverage industry standard and existing open source components

Why Apogée? (2/2) • Vendor-neutral • Any ECM platform vendor should be able to use and create connectors for Apogée • O er user-friendly tools • No bloatware • Think “user experience” and “e ciency” • Design “components” and “reuse”

Why a Rich Client Framework? • For intensive document-oriented work, the browser is not enough... • Deep integration with the desktop • Hardware device integration (scanner...) • O ine work with synchronization • Responsive and rich interface • The browser is not a window manager nor HTML/CSS a modern UI toolkit... • ...at least not for users!

Eclipse Apogée Project Applicative components BPM Mail Client Calendar Whiteboard (Eclipse BPEL) Content Collaborative IM etc. Editors Workspaces (ECF) Core Infratructure Remote Content Type Sync Search Interface Service (SyncML) Content Indexing Cache XForms Engine Model (Apache Lucene) Storage Relations Content Security Service Engine Schemas (ETF) Apogee Content Model JCR Nuxeo Core Eclipse FS

Standards and tools (1/2) • Standard way to access di erent repository • Nuxeo Core model • Java Content Repository (JSR-170) as storage engine • iECM API • XForms • Eclipse Forms generation from XForms • Enable form sharing between client and the server • XML Schemas • Content schemas (and storage schema generation) • XForms dynamic validation • SyncML for client/server and client/client sync. • RDF for relation storage

Nuxeo RCP

Nuxeo RCP? • Based on Eclipse Apogée Nuxeo RCP • Integration of Nuxeo Core Apogee Nuxeo RCP • Integration with the Nuxeo Components Components Enterprise Platform 5 • Integration with third- Apogee Infrastructure party software (ex: Adobe, ImageMagic, etc.) Nuxeo Core Engine • Professional Support and Apache Jackrabbit (+DB) Services from Nuxeo

Nuxeo Core • Embeddable Content Nuxeo Core Management Core (POJO) POJO API Remote API JavaEE API Core Services • XMLSchema to de ne Schemas content schemas DataModel NXQL Engine Manager • Uni ed storage backend QueryEngine Events XSD Engine • Low-level document management services Core Repository • Powerful Query API (NXQL) Content Repository • Core Connector o er a Storage Adapter public local and remote Content Store (JCR) interface Apache Jackrabbit - Pure SQL - XML Database

Nuxeo RCP Components • Nuxeo Core powered • NXQL engine • Nuxeo Core sync engine • Local / Remote databases • Full integration with Nuxeo EP • External software integration • Adobe Reader • Image Magick • Digital Signature • Improved Look and Feel

Status, Perspectives and collaborations

Design ✓ Overall architecture (v1, refactoring in progress for v2) ✓ Content storage and model (idem) ✓ XForms engine and XML Schemas validator ✓ Relation engine ‣ Security • ACL-based model implemented into Nuxeo Core • ETF/Higgins Integration (auth schemes)

Development ✓ Global infrastructure [Partial] ✓ Jackrabbit integration, content model ✓ XForms engine and XMLSchemas validation ❖ Synchronization [in progess] ✓ Content Editor (MSO ce, OpenO ce and Mozilla Composer through Xored Composer)

Collaboration with Eclipse Projects • RCP as foundation • ECF for communication and synchronous collaboration • Instant Messaging • shared whiteboard • ETF for security and authentication • Corona as collaborative workspaces engine • BIRT for activity audit and reporting • Eclipse BPEL as work ow designer

Collaboration with other Projects • Funambol (ObjectWeb) as SyncML server and client API • Jackrabbit (Apache) as JCR-compliant repository (storage engine) • Jena (HP) or Sesame (OpenRDF) as RDF database engine

Collaboration • Planned contributions • Bug report and bug xes • Patches & improvement proposal (ex: providers for ETF, ICE transport for ECF) • Component development takeover • Cooperation with involved projects will be done as much as possible

Community • 60 subscriptions to the mailing-list • Website online at apogee.nuxeo.org • SVN at http://svn.nuxeo.org/pub/Apogee • SVN, web site, mailing list, etc. to be transfered to eclipse.org ASAP
