But for my special case, I would need it. But that's not what this discussion 
is about right now.

I don't think so. I wrote it for my diploma thesis and there are some special 
things in there which you can't use in normal live. And I'm totally bound to 
Jetspeed, because it is a portlet. And some features, like attachment upload, 
isn't implemented at all.

Sounds nice. But I'm quite under pressure the next weeks, because I have to 
finish my diploma thesis and write my last tests. So I can make the code 
public right now, but that won't help you. In August I'll have much time to 
go through all my code and than I'll release it.

But if you want it now. That's no problem.
