I would like to start contributing to the jackrabbit project and the issue (http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-465) seems like an easy first step to accomplish. I would appreciate any help from people along the way. My first question is: What is the use case for being able to change the workspace name and do people think its a good function to have?
I'm actually not sure about whether introducing a rename method is an easy thing to do. The rename operation is a bit tricky as the workspace name can be embedded in various places like table names used by the database persistence managers, etc. I think an easier operation that we would definitiely appreciate would be to introduce a method to delete a workspace. Deleting a workspace should be much simpler than renaming, and assuming a proper backup/restore tool you can even use the delete operation togethere with createWorkspace() to achieve the use case of renaming a workspace.
