Lucane : About

Lucane is a groupware platform written in Java by Vincent Fiack (http://www.lucane.org/). It offers the usual groupware functions such as calendar, forum, instant messaging, file sharing... and may be easily extended by plugins. Lucane has an embedded database (hsqldb) but an external database (mySQL...) can be used instead of hsqldb. Users access Lucane by a Java client or a browser (IE, Mozilla...).

I have ported Lucane 0.7.4 on OpenVMS. Porting means testing all the functions, writing startup and shutdown procedures and creating a PCSI kit.

Lucane is a free software published under LGPL. Lucane for OpenVMS needs Java 1.4.1-2 or later. It MUST be installed on ODS5 volume if you plan to access it by a browser and not only by the Java client, otherwise it may be installed on ODS2 or ODS5 device. Lucane has been tested on Alpha but not on Itanium.

  • Jean-Yves Bourles (tests)
