Tapestry can be downloaded in either binary or source format.

See the Release Notes for differences between versions and how to upgrade, and Supported Environments and Versions for the compatibility matrix.

Stable Releases

Stable releases should be relatively free of critical bugs and are considered the safest option if stability is a requirement.

Download Apache Tapestry

Apache Tapestry is a component-oriented framework for developing web applications in Java.

Tapestry releases are available from the Apache Mirrors. Each file is available for download from a mirror. Click any Download link below to be directed to the closest available mirror site.

Once you've downloaded a file, you should check it for authenticity. The MD5 link is an MD5 checksum file, used to ensure that the file downloaded properly. The ASC link is a GnuPG (GNU Privacy Guard) detached signature file, which can be authenticated against the file KEYS. This is used to ensure that what you downloaded is what we uploaded.

Tapestry releases are distributed as a binary and a source distribution. The binary distribution includes a code JAR for each module, as well as a source JAR for each module (having the Java source available is a huge benefit when working with Tapestry inside an IDE). The binary distribution now also includes third party dependencies (for dependencies with licenses compatible with the Apache Software License).

The source distribution includes all source files, including those for the Maven plugin modules.

License and Dependencies

Tapestry is distributed under the Apache License, version 2.0.

Tapestry incorporates additional software from the Apache project. In addition, Tapestry makes use of some non-Apache open source products, including Javassist (Mozilla Public License) and OGNL (OGNL license).

You may need to download some dependencies separately.
