Overview

The CloudBeaver server is a Java application. It is based on the OSGI framework and utilizes several Eclipse bundles.

Important: CloudBeaver includes OpenJDK, which is an open-source version of Java. This means you do not need to purchase a separate Java license to use CloudBeaver.

Back-end parts depend on DBeaver.

DBeaver is a multiplatform desktop application. It is also based on OSGI/Eclipse.
CloudBeaver uses a "headless" part of it - everything related to database connectivity and project management.

Tip: For information on building and deploying, see Build and Deploy.
