Getting started

What is the Eclipse Enterprise Content Repository (ECR)?

ECR is a platform to build rich content applications. You can use ECR to develop any type of application that need to manage structured (or unstructured) content and expose this content to the world using the interface of your choice (web sites, REST APIs, CMIS, or native Java API for embeddable applications).

ECR is providing a rich set of services on top of the content storage like versioning, access control, REST bindings and also an easy way to create web sites or REST services to expose your content.
