This is mainly an internal organization for managing the components better in JIRA and to more easily maintain separate release cycles. This also means that jcr-rmi is independently developed & released from jackrabbit-core and that's why the latest version is 1.5. There is no 1.6 or 2.0 yet. The description is still here: http://jackrabbit.apache.org/jackrabbit-jcr-rmi.html And the new svn location is now below http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jackrabbit/commons/ > Also, what exactly is a "commons"?

In Apache, "commons" means something that was written/started by a project, but is actually independent from the (core) project itself. In Jackrabbit's case, all (jcr) commons modules work based on the JCR API itself and are not tied to the Jackrabbit core implementation. You can use the JCR RMI client with any JCR-complient repository that exposes itself over rmi. Regards, Alex -- Alexander Klimetschek alexander.klimetsc...@day.com
