I tried the usual:
CRX from Day.com: not (yet) stable
KnowledgeTree Community: couldn't get it to work (unless perhaps you buy the commercial version?)
Nuxeo: very, very expensive, but looks good (is there a community version available?)
yet a few more
I also installed Alfresco, which seems to be the best out there in terms of functions it offers; I'm quite impressed by it, to be honest. However, it's very slow, sometimes taking a few minutes to check-in a document. It also takes quite a lot of memory (maybe due to Java?). It also has some issues dealing with Illustrator documents.
Is there a CMIS server available that can connect to Adobe Drive (CMIS) and not running on Java?
I just need the Check-in/out functions through Adobe Drive 2.1 or 3.0 CMIS.
UPDATE [20/02/2012]
After playing with the above-mentioned software for a while, I can (personally) affirm that Alfresco is the best among all (free) available software. I'm running the community version 4.0.d. It seems pretty stable and the installation + connexion to Adobe Drive 3.0.1 via the CMIS connector is seamless; (FYI in Drive: cmis://127.0.0.1:8080/alfresco/service/cmis).
UPDATE [25/06/2014]
#NicolasRaoul is right. CMIS not running on Java, as specified in the title => Nuxeo. Hence #JulienCarsique's answer accepted/upvoted.
About Nuxeo, it is free for use. There's no "community" or "enterprise" versions but a unique Open-Source, free and enterprise-ready version.
To answer your question, there is a CMIS implementation that is not based on Java. It is Microsoft Sharepoint, which also has a CMIS connector. I don't know anything about it's completeness or performance.
Something tells me though that is not the platform you are looking for and it will definitely not run on your Mac Mini.

I have an existing software system in pure Java (1.8, currently 32 bit), using Eclipse's EMF Client Platform. Some modules are opened in normal web browsers like IE, Chrome etc. while others are loaded into an Eclipse client as Eclipse plugins. We're using Eclipse Mars.
We're looking to automate our testing with HP's UFT, so we're trying it out for the first time with a freshly downloaded trial version. We easily figured out how to use UFT with modules that are opened in a web browser from a tutorial I found online.
However, we're unable to say the same for the part of the system opened in the Eclipse client. My PM did a little preliminary research and some say there are compatibility issues. Right now I'm investigating this in-depth with the objective to get it working if possible. I Google'd with the terms UFT, Eclipse plugin, and/or EMF Client Platform without useful result.
As someone using this tool for the first time, I'm looking for help from those with experience in the community. Do you know any tutorial, documentation, any material that can assist me, whether to solve the problem outright or at least to help me understand the relevant parts of the UFT tool?
I understand LeanFT is installed with UFT, so I am open to using it as an alternative. Thanks!
We successfully setup the Meteor 0.7.1.2 in Centos. Is it Latest version supporting installation in windows 8 officially?. If yes please share the information.
we know its supporting unofficially with the following url

I agree about the cloud solutions. I've used the unofficial Windows version and had some problems, but I am loving cloud development with Meteor.
If you are interested in trying it out, I wrote up an entire tutorial on how to get set up with cloud development in Meteor and included a screencast.
http://simpleprogrammer.com/2014/10/13/getting-started-meteor-tutorial-cloud/
Windows support is not yet official and win.meteor.com outlines some workarounds, the better ones which include utilizing a virtual machine. There is a suggested native solution (launchmeteor.exe), although unofficial, with key difference (for some developers) being Meteorite not work on Windows yet.
According to the roadmap trello board https://trello.com/c/ZMvnfMfI/11-official-windows-support official windows support is targeted for 1.0 if time permits, but it seems very unlikely.
For interim portability, you may want to have a look at cloud solutions like nitrous.io at http://help.nitrous.io/meteor-app/ which runs the dev environment on the cloud but has a windows desktop app http://blog.nitrous.io/2014/02/25/nitrous-desktop-is-now-available-for-windows.html which at least lets you develop locally and sync to your nitrous.io cloud box.
It seems Neo4J High Availability is only available for the Enterprise edition which is paid- is there another alternative to achieve replication without that module? (i.e. without cost). Thanks for any help!
Update:
This answer has changed. Neo4j is now open core, so the Enterprise code is no longer dual-licensed - only the commercial license option remains.
You can find more details here: https://neo4j.com/open-core-and-neo4j/
Original Answer:
Enterprise is available as quid-pro-quo - if you put your code out under an open source license, then you get access to the open source Neo4j Enterprise free of charge. However, if you are closed source, Neo Tech charges a license fee. This fee is determined by your needs and your ability to pay - if you are a small outfit with no venture capital, it's still free, and then the licensing cost increases as your ability to pay back to the development of Neo4j increases.
If your application is open-source as you mention, then you are free to use Neo4j Enterprise without paying for it, simply download it at neo4j.org.
Actually Neo4j Enterprise is free under the open source AGPLv3 license.
Neo4j Inc can't modify the terms and still call it AGPL.
If you use Neo4j Enterprise as a server (like most people do) and communicate with it via its REST API or any of the official BOLT drivers then you never trigger AGPL's copyleft requirements.
In other words - the software that connects to it does not have to be open sourced.
You can download Neo4j Enterprise open source licensed binaries up to version 3.2.x from dist.neo4.org. The links for the windows and unix packages are below. (Replace the version number for specific versions)
http://dist.neo4j.org/neo4j-enterprise-3.2.8-windows.zip
http://dist.neo4j.org/neo4j-enterprise-3.2.8-unix.tar.gz
If you want Neo4j Enterprise 3.3.0 and on under it's free open source license, then you can build them from source like we do for our US government clients, or just grab them from our free distribution site.
Check out the blog post if you want to understand why this has happened.

I've seen this question but the answers are simply not good enough. I've searched the web and could find a clear listing of the main differences.
I am particularly surprised to see contradictions in the above link, that holds only 4 short answers.
So the question is, beyond support, what are (all) the differences between Alfresco Community and Enterprise editions (for the current versions of course)?
Are there functional or technical features that available in the Enterprise edition, that are not in the community edition?
I find it strange that it's so difficult to get a clear list. Looking at the forums to find this answer is not a serious option from a business perspective.
Until now, I found this link to be useful, but it's from 2009.
In particular, I find the platform support interesting, with the community edition supporting only lamp stuff:
Linux
MySQL
Tomcat
OpenLDAP
Firefox
And the enterprise edition supporting:
Windows
SQL Server
WebLogic, WebSphere
AD/Kerberos
IE and Safari
Apparently, these features are only available in the enterprise edition:
JMX monitoring
Runtime admininstration: What's that exactly? And what's in the community edition then?
Runtime indexing consistency check and update: What's in the community edition then?
High performance and availability: How is that implemented and what's in the community edition then?
Storage policies
Open source and proprietary technology stack support: which ones exaclty? Which ones are supported in the community edition?
If anyone could guide me towards serious documentation about these differences, that would be great.
I also went through the wiki but could not find an answer to my questions in there.
differences between Enterprise and Community vary in detail from version to version and are mainly visible for administrators. We see or maintain both flavors of Alfresco in midsize to very large environments and I would say it's more or less a question of taste and budget what the best decision / edition is for you. Excellent skills in infrastructure and java are highly advisable for both editions to run Alfresco in production.
The technical differences are not as dramatic as not being able to provide very similar functionality for the users - so if you're actually in a decision you should focus on a good technical partner, the support services and maybe the fact that you only get official patches in the Enterprise subscription, not on the Community. BTW Alfresco Enterprise is not Open Source but this is not a real point of interest for most end users. You can access the code as a subscription customer but it is not public available/accessible.
The main differences in features are already named more or less:
Administration
Enterprise has more views and setting in the admin web GUI. In Community you can access most configuration only from the command line. This may be a restriction but in real live Administrators prefer the command line and scripting automation.
Enterprise lets you change some Alfresco settings during runtime (most settings still require restart). Some can be change in the GUI and more in the jmx interface. Also you're able to stop and start subsystems like the CIFS protocol server. We use this feature to switch a system in read only mode. This point is meant with "runtime admininstration". Community requires restart of the service for most configuration changes. It is possible to work around this by advanced scripting like groovy or by implementing modules.
Indexing
Runtime indexing consistency check and update is not a self healing functionality as expected. You will have to learn (at least for now) that you have to recreate the Alfresco index from time to time even in Enterprise environments and that it is better to focus on good strategies how to speed recreation or how to setup standby indexes instead of hunting failed indexing transactions using the check and update methods. For major document model changes you need to recreate the index anyway.
High performance and availability
This is mainly the cluster and replication functionality which is no longer available in Community. It's similar to MS Clusters: It's a lot, lot work for very view more availability since some concepts are missing. The price is high in terms of complexity and can end up in loss of robustness. Even with enterprise support it's a hard job to keep a alfresco cluster running - so you need very good arguments why to go this way. But of course: its possible and available!
High performance: There shouldn't be any difference and if - I'm very curious about the explanation.
Technology stack
The main difference is the database support. In the Community you only can choose between MySQL and Postgres (No Oracle or MS SQL for Community). All other technologies are independent from Enterprise or Community (AD, Kerberos, OS, Browser, ...)
Java Container: I believe over 95% of all Alfresco installations run in tomcat. That's the configuration which is documented, tested and scales. Using WebLogic or WebSphere gives you no added value except new challenges - quite the contrary: You have to solve most issues for yourself and can't benefit from others experience.
Storage policies: I'm not pretty sure and should check in 4.2.x if the Content Store Selector / Storage policies is no longer available in the Community, but it was there in the 3.x versions.
[Edit]: storage policies have been removed in Community 4.2.x:
NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No bean named 'storeSelectorContentStoreBase' is defined
If there is a really need for this functionality someone may re-enable that feature by coding a module for Community.
Regards
This page explains the difference between the editions:
https://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Enterprise_Edition
This page is the canonical, comprehensive list of the differences.
If you are considering an Enterprise Subscription and you have a question that isn't answered by what you can find on that page, you should talk to your account rep.
Well, regarding JMX monitoring:
Runtime administration: Alfresco enterprise allows to perform certain actions on Alfresco subsystems without restarting the server. This allows you to be very fast during debugging/developing and also making changes in production environment. Also you can access the JMX interface that supports JMX Remoting.
There is no consistency check or update, until you restart the server (during the startup you have to validate/check/rebuild your indexes). There is an option in alfresco.global.properties (or the original repository.properties config file) for that. If you have some inconsistencies in the Alfresco Community index, you're gonna have a bad time xD.
Alfresco Enterprise has specific license for clustering your architecture, the Community edition doesn't support those systems. Replicate and cluster Alfresco is one of the main improvements in performance/scalability/availability you could achieve.
The storage policies allow you to use Content Store selectors in Alfresco Enterprise. You can manage a primary and a secondary file store, and map/connect these stores in your architecture. The Community Edition allows you only to use one content store at a time.
These include everything inside Alfresco (Spring Framework, Apache-Lucene/Solr, Tomcat, and so on), because with the Enterprise license you have also the full support with everything inside the Alfresco package. The difference is that the Community is based on daily builds, supported by community, and therefor not guaranteed. The Enterprise support helps you resolve many problems that you might encounter during developing and in production environment, not only Alfresco related, but also on some configurations on supported platforms (Windows/Linux), your web application servers, and so on.
Hope it helps.
I want to start a new project I need performance as well as a neat and robust GUI
about the performance I have around 2 millions documents which I like to index'em by the help of lucene installed on linux due to its performance and security.
and about GUI I'd like to have flexible and professional look website and since I'm experienced with .net I'd like to retrieve the lucene's result and show it in my own way.
I've heard about some RESTful services available inside the lucene but I don't have any clue according to that and how to connect these two together.
how can I connect asp.net to lucene?
regards.
One option: Install Solr on Linux. Solr is a nice search server built based on Lucene that supports REST-like XML and JSON APIs. ASP can parse JSON and from there you can build your own front end in ASP.net.
Lucene has been ported to .Net. http://incubator.apache.org/lucene.net/
We use it for our website to index various things, and these indexes are in the millions too. If you're wanting to use Linux in the belief that it's more efficient, then it's not a matter of the choice of OS but of accessing a remote Lucene system.
The best option is to install Solr, and use Solr.NET to interface with it. SolrNET is a .NET client for Solr (the most important).
It's possible to install Solr both on Linux or Windows. And easy way to install Solr on windows is using this bitnami, which installs the server, as well as the Solr servlet.
It's also possible to use Elasticsearch, and some of the available .NET clients.
NOTE on Lucene.NET: it's a port of the original Java Lucene to .NET, available at Nuget, but it's dead: the latest ported version is 3.0.3, while as of april 2015 the Lucene (and Solr) is version 5.1. So, if you want to use the newest functionalities, it's much better to install Solr (on Windows or Linux) and use Solr.NET as explained above.
