Welcome to the Nuxeo Platform 5.6-RC1.

You can always download the latest releases of Nuxeo modules on the Nuxeo Platform from http://www.nuxeo.com/en/downloads.

Requirements

The applications based on Nuxeo EP 5.5 need Java. Please install and set up the recommended Sun Java Development Kit (JDK) 6 if it’s not already installed on your computer.

Nuxeo Platform 5.5 supports OpenJDK 6 as a default Java setup. We don’t consider Java 7 as a supported version yet, but we welcome your feedback if you encounter any trouble with it.

It won’t work with any previous release of Java (e.g. Java 5).

Under Windows, virus scan should be configured to avoid scanning Nuxeo’s installation folder. More details on this FAQ entry.
