Hello Russ,
you're right, "Hop 0: Getting started" needs an update.
I've got the hops running with following libraries/jars in the classpath:
* jackrabbit-api-1.3.1.jar
* jackrabbit-classloader-1.3.1.jar
* jackrabbit-core-1.3.1.jar
* jackrabbit-jcr-commons-1.3.1.jar
* jacrabbit-text-extractors-1.3.1.jar
* jcr-1.0.jar
* log4j-1.2.13.jar
* lucene-core-2.0.0.jar
* slf4j-api-1.3.0.jar
* slf4j-log4j12-1.3.0.jar
* xercesImpl-2.8.1.jar (or newer)
* xml-apis-1.3.03.jar (or newer)
* derby-10.2.1.6.jar
(only necessary for the hops with default configuration of jackrabbit)
* concurrent-1.3.4.jar
* commons-collections-3.1.jar
This should be a good starting point for developing the business layer for your
J2EE application.
regards
Marcus
