JForum2 Wiki

JForum2 is a continuation of the original JForum web app by Rafael Steil. Its focus is on bug fixing and security patches, but various new features have also been added. Third party Java libraries are generally updated to the latest stable version with some code modifications as needed.

The current version is JForum 2.8.3, released in October 2023. It requires Java 8 running on a Servlet 3.1 container. See [NewFeatures283] for what's new in the latest releases, [UpgradingFrom282to283] for how to upgrade from 2.8.2, and [NewFeaturesTrunk] for changes that are yet to be released. You can download it from here.

A source code branch and beta war file are available for use in JakartaEE 10 environments such as Tomcat 10.1. It runs on Java 11 and newer, and remains work in progress.

JForum's features and its administration is described in detail in the [Documentation].

For information about releases and installation see [Installation], [ManualInstallation] and [SystemRequirements]. The JForum Community is a support forum powered by JForum itself. You can ask any question about JForum2 there, and find some useful additional information like the JForum2 Developer Quick-Start Guide, How to Setup JForum Development Environment and the JForum Customization Guide.
