Wordpress in Java

Numiton who “bring PHP to Java” have announced Wordpress in Java.

The so called nWordpress is based on the version 2.5.1 of the popular PHP blogging . It is available under GPL like and leverages a Spring-MVC-Framework.

Other PHP applications numiton plan to port include Joomla, as well as Mediawiki, Mantis and DocuWiki. They have a specific porting nTile PtoJ, which they claim can convert PHP code to Java EE.

As a justification for the effort, numiton claim that PHP solutions often suffer from sub-optimal code quality, coupled with insufficient tools/IDE support, that makes you wonder how difficult it is to maintain and develop such projects.

They believe, that by porting the to Java EE through an automated process, they will gain easier maintenance and development and be able to establish superior architectures and finally superior tools.

    Sebastian, just a small addition to your post. For migration projects, Numiton does not target Java EE exclusively. For smaller projects like nWP the Spring MVC framework proved to be a lighter and more suitable choice.
