registrering custom node types programmatically from NodeTypeDefinition objects has been standardized in JCR 2.0 (note that JCR 1.0 didn't support node type registration). that's why the jackrabbit specific api methods in JackrabbitNodeTypeManager have been deprecated in favor of the now standardized JCR 2.0 methods. however, registering custom node types from a cnd-file definitions is not supported by JCR 2.0. i agree that those methods probably shouldn't have been deprecated in the jackrabbit api as there's no direct replacement in JCR 2.0. feel free to report a jira issue. cheers stefan
