There are different notions of what "runtime" is.
In the current Nuxeo EP framework, it's not possible to change the types once the storage repository has been opened. So changing types "on the fly" while the application is running would be very difficult.

The use case of dynamically changing the types at runtime is one we're taking into account, however nothing will be useable before a few months.
But we're thinking about it :)

Thanks for the answer.

And do you know if there is a plan to have such a GUI in a near future?

We can always develop our GUI of course if it is possible to do this programmatically.

To add custom document types with custom meta data, we have to

custom document types.
So I guess it's not possible to do this dynamically at runtime?

Hum, this is done by Nuxeo Runtime, so I guess this is done at runtime :)

Actually we have a requirement to give to certain end 'super' users the
ability to define
via a UI interface new custom document types (add/delete/modify) to
avoid deploying a new
version of the application each time there is a new document type to
define.

My understanding of Nuxeo is that it's not currently possible to do
this?
If yes do you plan to have such feature in the future?

You can do it programmatically by building descriptor instances (XObject annotated classes) directly from your code and then registering them to
the
matching runtime services instead of parsing static XML descriptions.

However Nuxeo does not provide a high level UI to build document types
(yet).
