jAPS - java Agile Portal System is a free, open source content management system written in Java. jAPS is an adaptive open source solution for web portal system creation and customization. Based on J2EE technology, it is platform independent.

jAPS is not really a content management system, but a framework you can use to develop your very custom web portal, with an integrated content management system as well as other useful services. And a complete, powerful, flexible environment allowing you to write any service is needed.

The main site can be found at http://www.japsportal.org, and an online demo of jAPS is available at http://demo.japsportal.org/

jAPS comes in three different flavours, available for downloading at the SourceForge.net project site:

jAPS src is the source of the framework, and the starting point for creating a web portal from scratch
jAPS demo is a package containing an instance of the framework named demo. The package contains all the needed files to import demo as a Java Project into the Eclipse IDE and then deploy it under the Apache Tomcat servlet container as a web application.
jAPS demodist is a special customization of demo coming with Tomcat, the Hipersonic database system and a couple of useful scripts. That is: download, extract, run startDemo.sh or startDemo.bat, point your browser to http://localhost:8080/demo/ and relax.
