Welcome to jwma
Primarily jwma is a WebMail implementation in Java, enabling the user to access,
manage and compose email using a standard web browser. However, jwma is more
then that. If you are interested, then read the more detailed overview
on the features and use of jwma.
Please note that you you might be looking at an offline copy, and that you will
always find the latest release version of this documents at http://jwma.sourceforge.net.
However, as the online version will reflect the latest release version, it might
be better to browse the local version that came with the release you are using.
Target audience
System administrators that want to enable their users to access, manage and
compose email using a standard web browser. jwma offers sufficient features,
stability and total control over the look and feel. Especially the latter is
supported through jwma's underlying MVC
model 2 architecture, and allows to change the "user interface"
to the site's needs; very simple and fast.
Additionally jwma's architecture allows integration with other Java Server Side
systems, through the creation of controllers and views with other template or
active page technologies (e.g. Webmacro, Velocity etc.) for web clients, as
well as others.
A word of warning
jwma doesn't represent a shrink-wrapped product. jwma is open-source and can
be downloaded and deployed for free. This implies that your expectations might
not be met, and it might cost you valuable time to really deploy jwma. However,
we are constantly trying to improve
jwma and its documentation, and will especially be able to do so if we receive
help in form of feedback (hints, configuration examples, source code etc.).
The project site on SourceForge offers several ways to do so.
