Users looking for a production installation of OpenCms should use the 8.5.2 version and upgrade to OpenCms 9 final when it is available.
OpenCms 9 is fully backward compatible with all 8.x versions. Templates and other OpenCms developed code from these versions should work "out of the box" with version 9.
Notice for users of Alkacon OCEE: OpenCms 9 requires an new version of Alkacon OCEE that will be available with OpenCms 9 final.
OpenCms 9 has been written and tested for Java 6 and 7. We have tested with ORACLEs JDK as well as OpenJDK. OpenCms should run with all compliant JVMs.
We have tested this release on the Tomcat servlet engine. OpenCms works "out of the box" with Tomcat 7, which we recommend. Others have reported deploying OpenCms successfully on other servlet containers like JBoss, BEA, Websphere, Glassfish and Resin Professional.
On the database side, we have tested with MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, MS SQL Server, DB2 and HSQLDB.
The main OpenCms Git repository is available on Github at github.com/alkacon/opencms-core.
