Well I feel a needing to post this. I did not want to announce it earlier but sandro's announce make me do it (because I don't want that someone accuse me as a copycat :D). I also developed an open source JCR browser during last weeks.
You can see here a screenshot <http://jlibrary.sourceforge.net>. The curious thing is that it's really similar to Sandro's tool, I suppose that JCR browsers will be all very similar: a tree for the item hiearchy and a properties view for the properties :) A difference with Sandro's project is that this JCR browser is integrated in a higher-level tool: jLibrary http://jlibrary.sourceforge.net. jLibrary is a document management system that now uses jackrabbit as the backend. I hope to release a new version (with jackrabbit, previous versions used an hibernate based backend) this january, and with that version there will be a generic JCR/Jackrabbit browser. Now I am on late test stages, and if you want to download the source code feel free to do it from sourceforge.net http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/jlibrary. It's mostly finished, and I am currently preparing the final web pages. My problem is that probably I won't be able to improve my generic JCR plugin, because I am only a single person, and the overall project is really very large. So I'm not posting this message here only for publicity, but for if you think, specially you Sandro, that maybe you could be interesting in joining efforts. Kind regards, Martin
