hi joe, in case you are looking for a pre-built and supported JSR 170 compliant repository as a basis of your CMS application, you might want to take a look at day's commercial JCR implementation CRX[1]. it comes with an installer for windows and (generic) unix for painless deployment and includes documentation and examples to get started. you can evaluate it for free during a 30 day period. there is also an independent mailing list[2] for users and developers.
