The PrimeKey EJBCA team is happy to announce that a new generation of EJBCA is finally here. As always, you can download the release from SourceForge.

In this release, the underlying framework has changed from Java Enterprise Edition 2, to 5. EJBCA 4 will constitute the solid base for EJBCA for the coming years. Together with major refactoring, the Java Enterprise upgrade significantly improves the quality of the EJBCA code and internal architecture, allowing for faster development time.
