OpenCms is an open source CMS platform based on Java and XML technology. It is distributed by Alkacon Software under license from LGPL.

The story of OpenCms starts around 1999 with his predecessor MhtCms, which was not released Open Source. The first version was released Open Source Expo at CeBIT 2000. OpenCms is a web-based JSP / Servlet and therefore requires a servlet container like Apache Tomcat. The use also requires a relational database like MySQL or PostgreSQL.
