Nuxeo has released this monday [Nuxeo Core
1.0](http://www.nuxeo.org/sections/projects/core/), the first release of
the "embeddable document management core" that is the foundation of its
upcoming [Nuxeo 5 ECM platform](http://www.nuxeo.org/).
Nuxeo Core provides all the core services and functionalities needed to
build a complete ECM product:
- a repository model,
- documents storage management,
- schemas and document types management,
- a query service,
- a security model,
- a document life cycle service,
- a flexible core event service.
The main goals of Nuxeo Core are:
- to provide the common services needed to build a state-of-the-art ECM
product, competing with offerings of Documentum, Filenet or OpenText,
- to leverage existing open source infrasctructure components, like the
[Apache Jackrabbit](http://jackrabbit.apache.org/) JCR implementation,
the [Lucene](http://lucene.apache.org/) search engine and the OSGi
components framework,
- to be accessible both remotely or locally (i.e: to provide a common
API accessible both from a the local JVM or from a remote instance),
- to be deployable anywhere without any modification (through [Nuxeo
Runtime](http://www.nuxeo.org/sections/projects/runtime/)): either in a
Java EE application server like JBoss, or embedded in a desktop
application like an RCP Eclipse application,
- to be extensible and flexible; this is inherited from Nuxeo Runtime
which provides an extensible component model.
