Hi guys,
I'm a long time viewer, first time poster to this list. Firstly,
congrats with jackrabbit and good luck with the move to TLP. I think
Jackrabbit is a great project and I'm already totally hooked :).
With regards to this particular topic, I'm +1 with the war - I also
think that the most important thing for a first time user is
documentation, documentation and documentation - articles, tutorials and
WIKI to be precise. I shore up on a few OS projects and, in my
experience, one of the first things that new users ask is normally along
the lines of "How do I..." or "What is ...". I think that links to
projects using Jackrabbit are also a great idea as it shows practical
aspects as well as documentaed theoretical ones.
I am in the early stages of designing a new photo management app for
desktop and web which I think would be great for a tutorial since it
could be adapted to show many features the Jackrabbit. The only downside
is that it will take a few months to come to fruition, due to a job
change and other life things that get in the way of me and my computers.
However, I will happily submit code as sample project or whatever is
needed to help if that is of any use.

+1 to the .war
The reason I joined this list was the lack of documentation in the configuration page on
the incubation site. I believe this is the perfect time to knock out some of those
"TODO" markers on the site, especially the sections dealing with AccessManagers
and LoginModules. Concise documentation really makes a difference when potential users
evaluate Jackrabbit.
Other than that, I'm really looking forward to the 1.0 release!
Thanks,
-Michael

I agree with Roy suggestions.
Michael, jLibrary (http://jlibrary.sourceforge.net) is using jackrabbit
and
is bundled on a .war dropable on several application server (tested on
tomcat,jboss,geronimo,..). It's really easy to create your .war, simply
look
at the server contrib projects. I combined that with a customized startup
servlet, and voilá.
Personally I think that Jukka is addressing very good the process of
making
easier development startup with jLibrary. The last jira issues solved
about
that drastically decrease developer adoption time, and that is very good.
Anyways, for a future release I think that currently Jackrabbit weakest
point is security. Having custom login modules (ldap, database) will be a
very interesting contribution and also will easy Jackrabbit adoption
because
many enterprises are not supporting JAAS but they really have databases or
active directories.
