Java based Wiki Engine

Question

Hi guys,

I am trying to review the different available wiki engines and was interested in one that is java based. Could you recommend or list any java based wiki engine so that i can have check it out.

I am familiar with the following JSPWIKi, Elsie.

Thanks

Answer 1

There are quite a few available. I'd check out the open-source ones first.

I have to say XWiki impressed me most, but that was for a feature set we were looking for quite a while ago, it may not match your exact needs...check out the full list I linked, see if anything fits you well.

Answer 2

You might like to think about Confluence. It's not open source, but it's extensible, if you wanted to make some kind of plugin.

Answer 3

VQWiki and Confluence have worked well for us.

Answer 4

I'm using JSPWiki since a few years.

JSPWiki is a feature-rich and extensible WikiWiki engine built around the standard J2EE components (Java, servlets, JSP).

Answer 5

Another great Java based Wiki engine is GWiki http://labs.micromata.de/display/gwiki/Home it can be embedded and extended by macros written in in Java or Groovy.
