      What is your inteded user market and how robust do you want the solution to be?

      A.  PHP (LAMP stack)

      Pros:
      1.  Runs everywhere
      2.  Very easy to find inexpensive hosting for
      3.  Easy to find developers for
      4.  Easier to learn
      5.  Easy to deploy

      Cons:
      1.  Integrating seperate external engines, frameworks, etc is very hard
      2.  Very UI centric ( web/HTML)

      B.  Java

      Pros:
      1.  More "enterprise friendly" ( not bashing anything else).
      2.  Many best of breed frameworks available ( integrate/reuse vs build) for persistence, integration, business rules, etc
      3.  Tons of flexibility

      Cons:
      1.  Harder to learn
      2.  Harder to deploy
      3.  Hosting is more expensive
      4.  Promotes the "overengineering" of things

      If you want the solution to be more appealing to enterprises, then you go the java route.  If you only want to target small business, then PHP would be OK.  Just my two cents.

      I actually have a needs for an open source PLM solution :)

      Good luck!

        Hi suresh, the project is currently suspended. I don't know when we will restart working on this. I'm sorry.
