JForum is a powerful and robust discussion board system implemented in Java. It provides an attractive interface, an efficient forum engine, an easy to use administrative panel, an advanced permission control system and much more. Built from the ground up around an MVC framework , it can be deployed on any Servlet 6 container or application server running at least Java 11, such as Tomcat, Jetty and JBoss/WildFly. Its clean design and implementation make JForum easy to customize and extend.
There is extensive documentation of all aspects of the software at https://sourceforge.net/p/jforum2/wiki2/Home/
It is freely available under the BSD license, and has recently been awarded the SourceForge "Community Choice" badge.
