I just updated my magnolia development setup to use Jackrabbit 1.4 -
and it worked just fine with the derby repository.
I suppose I could have dropped in the 1.4 jars in, but instead - I
was was lazy and just modified the parent pom to use 1.4 instead of
1.3.3 for the version for Jackrabbit and its related dependencies...
I was worried at first because the unit tests failed when I built
from the top level, but when I looked at it closer it was because
it's trying to load files from the system and not the classpath so it
seems the tests will fail unless you run it from the magnolia-core
directory.
I haven't tested it more than just the basic level yet, so no
promises... but from the documentation it sounds like 1.4 should not
require any changes to config files to work for existing 1.3.3
installations. (Although it mentions you can add some settings to
enable some new 1.4 features)
I didn't notice any difference in performance - but I only ran it for
about 15 minutes so far :)
