Now, the original version contains a lot of unused stuff, like support for patterns, for jar files in the repository etc. - this makes the code much larger than we currently need. And this in turn makes fixing potential problems hard. I've removed all of this now in Sling - and I think we can further clean up the code and make it more compact. I'll leave it up to the Jackrabbit community to decide, but if this piece of code is not used, I would suggest to remove it from jackrabbit commons. If people really need this version they can use the 1.5 version as it should work pretty well. Regards Carsten -- Carsten Ziegeler [email protected]
