Retirement of OpenXava Studio (the IDE)

In 2020 we created a customized version of Eclipse to help those who were new to OpenXava and did not come from the Java world get started more easily. We called it OpenXava Studio, and it enabled something unique in the Java world: you could download a zip file, unzip it, click on a .exe, and start working—nothing else required. There was no need to download Java, configure plugins, install Tomcat, or set environment variables—none of that. One click and you were ready to work.

Getting started video using IntelliJ

The getting started video tutorial we had until recently was from 2022. It worked perfectly with the latest versions of OpenXava and, from a teaching point of view, it was impeccable. But being perhaps the most important video on the OpenXava channel, it needed an update. And now we present to you the brand-new 2026 version.

The main feature is that we use IntelliJ as the IDE, instead of OpenXava Studio. IntelliJ is the IDE used by 85% of Java programmers, and we know that many of you use it with OpenXava. That’s why we want this to be a friendly introduction for Java developers, using their favorite tools.

In addition, as a bonus, in one part of the tutorial we use an AI assistant to write the code, adapting to the reality of 2026.

Here is the video, we hope you enjoy it:

OpenXava 7.6.4 released

This is a maintenance version with many bug fixes and some small improvements.

To update edit the pom.xml file in your project and change the value of the openxava.version property, in this way:

<properties>
    <openxava.version>7.6.4</openxava.version>
    ...
</properties>

Then rebuild your project:

With OpenXava Studio:
- Right mouse button in your project > Run As > Maven clean
- Right mouse button in your project > Run As > Maven install
Or with command line: mvn clean package

You don't need to download OpenXava Studio again, your current OpenXava Studio will work with the new OpenXava version automatically. You don't need to download anything, just update the pom.xml of your project. Look at the migration instructions.
