History

In 2015, iDempiere won the Bossie Awards 2015 for best open source applications. On version 3.1 Apache Tomcat was replaced with Jetty 9.2.3, and the ZK framework was upgraded to ZK7.0.3.

In 2011, due to disagreements in the former ADempiere developer community they decided to use the new name iDempiere for the code path with the new OSGi architecture. So iDempiere can be seen as the next generation of ADempiere or as a fork of the ADempiere Branch GlobalQSS Adempiere361. The majority of the active developer community started to work on iDempiere. The first big difference made on iDempiere vs ADempiere was the platform technology upgrade to the OSGi framework that allows iDempiere to have plug-ins. Also Jboss was replaced with Apache Tomcat improving the performance and memory footprint. Further upgrades are a new automatic build system based on Eclipse Buckminster, a major ZK upgrade (from ZK3.6 to ZK6) which allowed to redesign the web GUI. With the new OSGi framework, a lot of third-party modules made on Adempiere have been updated as plug-ins in iDempiere, such as SmartPOS and Libero modules.
