Hi,
I've now rolled the second preview build of the upcoming 1.5.0
release. This build is for testing and preview purposes, and should
only be discussed here on [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can find the 1.5.0-b2 sources
and
binaries as a source archive and a staged maven repository at:
http://people.apache.org/~jukka/jackrabbit/
The source of this preview build are also recorded as the 1.5.0-b2 tag in svn.
See below for the current draft for the 1.5.0 release notes.
BR,

Release Notes -- Apache Jackrabbit -- Version 1.5.0
Introduction
Apache Jackrabbit is a fully conforming implementation of the Content
Repository for Java Technology API (JCR). A content repository is a
hierarchical content store with support for structured and unstructured
content, full text search, versioning, transactions, observation, and
more. Typical applications that use content repositories include content
management, document management, and records management systems.
Apache Jackrabbit 1.5 is an incremental feature release. While
remaining compatible with previous releases, Jackrabbit 1.5 introduces
a number of new features, improvements and fixes to known issues.
TODO: Notable new features
See the Apache Jackrabbit website at http://jackrabbit.apache.org/ for
more information.
Release Contents
This release consists of a single source archive (jackrabbit-1.5.0-src.jar)
that contains all the Apache Jackrabbit components. Use the following
commands (or the equivalent in your system) to build the release with
Maven 2 and Java 1.4 or higher:
jar xf jackrabbit-1.5.0-src.jar
cd jackrabbit-1.5.0-src
mvn install
Note that the OCM components require Java 5 or higher, and are not included
in the build when using Java 1.4.
The source archive is accompanied by SHA1 and MD5 checksums and a PGP
signature that you can use to verify the authenticity of your download.
The public key used for the PGP signature can be found at
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jackrabbit/dist/KEYS.
The build will result in the following components (with artifactIds in
parenthesis) being built and installed in your local Maven repository.
Pre-built binary artifacts of these components are also available on
the Jackrabbit download page and on the central Maven repository.
* Jackrabbit API (jackrabbit-api)
Interface extensions that Apache Jackrabbit supports in
addition to the standard JCR API.
* Jackrabbit JCR Commons (jackrabbit-jcr-commons)
General-purpose classes for use with the JCR API.
* Jackrabbit JCR Tests (jackrabbit-jcr-tests)
Set of JCR API test cases designed for testing the compliance
of an implementation. Note that this is not the official JCR TCK!
* Jackrabbit Core (jackrabbit-core)
Core of the Apache Jackrabbit content repository implementation.
* Jackrabbit Text Extractors (jackrabbit-text-extractors)
Text extractor classes that allow Jackrabbit to extract text content
from binary properties for full text indexing.
* Jackrabbit JCR-RMI (jackrabbit-jcr-rmi)
RMI remoting layer for the JCR API.
* Jackrabbit WebDAV Library (jackrabbit-webdav)
Interfaces and common utility classes used for building a
WebDAV server or client.
* Jackrabbit JCR Server (jackrabbit-jcr-server)
WebDAV servlet implementations based on JCR.
* Jackrabbit JCR Servlets (jackrabbit-jcr-servlet)
Set of servlets and other classes designed to make it easier to use
Jackrabbit and other JCR content repositories in web applications.
* Jackrabbit Repository Classloader (jackrabbit-classloader)
Java classloader for loading classes from JCR content repositories.
* Jackrabbit Web Application (jackrabbit-webapp)
Deployable Jackrabbit installation with WebDAV support for JCR.
* Jackrabbit JCA Resource Adapter (jackrabbit-jca)
J2EE Connector Architecture (JCA) resource adapter for Jackrabbit.
* Jackrabbit SPI (jackrabbit-spi)
The SPI defines a layer within a JSR-170 implementation that separates
the transient space from the persistent layer.
* Jackrabbit SPI Commons (jackrabbit-spi-commons)
This component contains generic utility classes that might be used
to build an SPI implementation.
* Jackrabbit SPI2JCR (jackrabbit-spi2jcr)
This component contains a SPI implementation wrapping around an
implementation of JSR-170.
* Jackrabbit JCR2SPI (jackrabbit-jcr2spi)
This component contains an implementation of the JSR-170 API and
covers the functionality that is not delegated to the SPI
implementation.
* Jackrabbit OCM (jackrabbit-ocm)
Object-Content mapping tool for persisting and accessing Java objects
in a JCR content repository.
* Jackrabbit OCM Node Management (jackrabbit-ocm-nodemanagement)
This component simplifies registration of node types and namespaces
referenced in OCM mapping descriptors.
