About

Apache Roller is the open source Java blog server that once powered some of the largest blog sites on the web: the ground-breaking employee blogging site blogs.sun.com, the blogs in IBM Lotus Connections, NC State University's Wolfblogs, and JavaLobby's JRoller and FreeRoller communities. Today Roller runs smaller sites, such as Matt Raible's blog and Dave Johnson's blog. If you want to set up a Java-powered blog server for yourself or for several thousand of your closest friends, try Roller!

Roller supports fundamental weblogging features such as group blogging, RSS and Atom newsfeeds, rich-text editing, customizable page templates, comments, pings, trackbacks, blogroll management and provides Atom Publishing Protocol and XML-RPC interfaces for blogging clients.

Roller was featured in an O'Reilly OnJava.com article on April 17, 2002. That article is no longer online, but you can read it here: Building an Open Source J2EE Weblogger (PDF).
