Hi, Warning to all people who are relying on Jackrabbit to automatically close the repository when the JVM shuts down. As discussed in JCR-120 I've now (revision 307128) removed the JVM shutdown hook from the RepositoryImpl class. This implies that all clients that call RepositoryImpl.create() must from now on also explicitly call RepositoryImpl.shutdown() to close the repository.
I did add a similar shutdown hook to the BindableRepository class to avoid problems in JNDI-based container environments where there is no easy way to invoke the shutdown() method. BR, Jukka Zitting
