Javaforge compatible codeBeamer remote API client available here: CB-JF/codebeamer-api-5.3.2.zip

JavaForge is a FREE open source project hosting site powered by Intland's codeBeamer software leveraging on Amazon EC2 instance with EBS storage, and Amazon S3 data backup technology (EC - Elastic Cloud).
It provides project, team, task, requirement, traceability, change, configuration, build, knowledge and document management through a single and secure environment. It makes software development more collaborative, transparent and productive. Javaforge can manage two version control systems:

  • Subversion - Subversion has been enjoying increasing popularity.
  • Mercurial - is becoming an increasingly popular alternative to Subversion.
  • git - for small to very large projects with speed and efficiency in a distributed manner is coming soon ...

It also supports CVS as an older, popular version control system.

See Knowledge Base, features and Users Guide.

Mercurial vs. Subversion - Why do we need two version control system, who needs Mercurial and who Subversion? It's exciting that Sun Microsystems' openJDK (better known as Java), OpenSolaris, NetBeans projects and Mozilla.org are using Mercurial. Mercurial is a distributed version control system. That means that rather than have one repository and many child repositories it can host a complete hierarchy or it can host repositories that are geographically dispersed. No 'central' repository is required and each repository has its own version of the history of the contents.
