Citing the aforementioned JackrabbitNodeTypeManager [1] api docs:
Currently Jackrabbit provides a mechanism to register new node types,
but it is not possible to modify or remove existing node types.
The answer to that is basically use of nt:unstructured (ie. residual
properties/child nodes), which is the heart of the schema-free
"feature" of JCR. I would also recommend to have a look at David's
guide to content modelling [2].
