Hi Cristophe, My assumption had been that the JSPUI would drift into disuse in the future, being replaced by Manakin. Hence I had made no noise about the development of the JSPUI. However, the recent comment from Mark suggested its not a 'fait accompli'. I am not against Manakin in any way, like you we have yet to migrate so I have no first hand experience. But it seems to me that its an unfair fight at the moment as the JSPUI is so out of date. Including the jars in the pom would allow developers to update the jsp's if they were inclined. As things stand there is not much incentive to consider sticking with the JSPUI.

But there is one question: will the DSpace community continue to support two UI ? Personally, I prefer JSP to Cocoon but I think that supporting two interfaces on the long term will be unmanageable... How people really using Manakin now evaluate this issue? Are they satisfied? Do they think JSP are easier, simpler, faster? Or they enjoy new useful features with Manakin and are happy with the overall organisation it imposes? Personally, I still belief "cleaned-up" JSP with a good API to access DSpace objects (designed from Manakin experience), some new JSTL tags, some EL functions would be easier to learn and use than Cocoon. But I did not made the transition (still deriving my work form DSPace 1.4.1): I may be completely wrong!!
