System Requirements

This document outlines the server and client system requirements for Builder 2.0...

Server Requirements

Confluence Version

2.1, 2.2 or above recommended

Java Version

1.4, 1.5 recommended

Disk Space

2.0 MB

RAM

48 MB in addition to Confluence RAM consumption

Note: The disk space and RAM requirements are dependant on number of spaces used, amount of content viewed, number of users and theme configuration (eg. macros in theme panels = more RAM, etc) – values stated are rough guidelines only.

Client System Requirements

Builder 2.0 requires a JavaScript enabled web browser with CSS support for best results. If your browser does not have JavaScript, certain features (such as menus and collapsible sidebars) will not work but the interface will still be usable (text links are shown instead of menu items). If your browser does not have CSS, pages will look exceedingly ugly (tongue)

The theme has been tested on the following browsers and operating systems:

End-user interface

The end-user interface covers all Confluence screens with the exception of the theme configuration screen. The browser versions shown below are those that we've specifically tested on and generally the theme will work on all higher versions unless stated otherwise.

Firefox for mobile devices - not had chance to test it.

The Confluence "Rich Text" editor currently only works in Firefox and Internet Explorer (and any browsers based on them, such as Flock and Neoplanet).

The Opera browser is also available for FreeBSD, QNX and BeOS but we've not had chance to test those yet.

We've not yet had chance to test on Solaris, OS/2 and a few other operating systems. Gecko based browsers (such as Firefox, Seamonkey) and commercial browsers such as Opera should work fine, but we can't say for sure until we test them.

Theme Configuration

The visual theme editor is very heavily dependant on JavaScript and we strongly recommend using Firefox as it's by far the fastest browser for theme configuration.

Unlikely to be usable for theme config due to tiny screen size.

Help us to test!

With so many versions of so many web browsers on so many operating systems and platforms, it's going to take us an age to test all of them. If you're able to test the Builder theme on versions, browsers, operating systems and platforms we've not tested yet, please let us know what the results are.
