I agree with Jukka here. If you want to use the repository, the first steps I'd recommend are the following - use WebDAV to store and access the content (desktop integration) - use Search to find the content - use a content browser to view / edit the content on JCR level (nodes, properties, nodetypes etc). For this, you currently need an external application (see wiki page [1]) Current rough plans for Jackrabbit 1.5 should lower the barrier to start using the repository for the first time users (self-runnable jar, content browser, etc), I think it's the right focus. > > What are the steps to proceed? > > Once you've done the above steps, you should take a look at the JCR > specification to see how you can achieve the above operations (and > much more) programmatically using the JCR API. The First Hops page [2] comes to mind if you want to start writing applications for JCR, after you've learned about the standard itself. Also, the SLING project [3] (currently in incubator) comes to mind to jump-start web development on top of JCR repository - "Discover Sling in 15 minutes" [4] is a nice introduction here.
