Hi @ all.. I hope some "old" jackrabbit developers will participate to this dicussion. We are using jackrabbit as a plain dms over years now. It is a central component in our infrastructure and we are really satisfiying with it.
We are not planning to migrate to jackrabit oak as we have no requirements to new features. I know that jackrabbit is in maintenance mode, but 3'rd party libraries will still be upgradet to the newest versions (primarily thanks to julian). We will use jackrabbit surely for the next years but one thing worries me. The strong integration of lucene in jackrabbit makes it really difficult to upgrade to a newer version. As you all know we are using lucene 3.6 and it is in the meanwhile really outdatet. I'm no lucene expert but i have tried to upgrade to version 4 as the first step. As there are many api changes it's not really easy. Maybe some jackrabbit developers which have written the code give some estimates what it would mean to upgrade to a newer version. Thanks for any input ! greets Claus
