Open Source Portals in Java

The JAva ManagEd Content System, or Jamecs, is a powerful Content Management Framework / Portal System for the J2EE Servlets environment. Jamecs provides a flexible, tightly integrated object persistence layer together with advanced view creation and rendering functionality. Jamecs integrates the Apache Velocity template engine, and while JSP can be used with ease the system encourages use of Velocity Template Language (VTL) code throughout the system, and provides many advanced features such as conditional VTL views, inheritable properties containing VTL, and a rich standard Velocity environment totally integrated into the CMF. The system is fairly young at the moment, and is more Framework than CMS / Portal, but we're getting there!
