My understanding from Roy is that, if we ship Jackrabbit, we don't need the JCR jar, as Jackrabbit provides its own impl. Does it still work if you just remove the JCR jar? Or did I misunderstand something?


No, this is not correct. The jackrabbit-jar is only an implementation of the JCR APIs. Rereading Roys mail:

   "The JCR API, in contrast, will either already be present in the J2SE
    engine (with or without an implementation) or must be downloaded and
    installed by the user."

IMO for Cocoon this means that our users needs to get/have the jcr.jar by themself, either donwloading it by hand from the SUN/Day site and install it as an Java extension or other mechanism (i.e. global lib dir of a target container) or use a scritp (read Maven) to get it.

Now, the only way I see ATM is to extend the Ant-script for the repository block to download that jcr.jar from the Day site and put it to the correct location for deployment/build (this is meant for the branch).

Or add some mock classes in our base code. Se far, we have been doing it for mail.jar and other jars that we don't distribute due legal reasons.

Best Regards,

Antonio Gallardo.
