In general there should be no extra manual steps required for the upgrade. Simply stop the repository, make a full backup (as per standard procedure), update the Jackrabbit jars (and relevant dependencies), and start the repository. Jackrabbit should be fully compatible with old repository data and we have a set of integration tests to verify this for a number of configurations, so I wouldn't expect any problems. If something comes up (like the index update reqiurement mentioned by Marek), please file a bug report about the issue. There should be no need to rebuild the search index unless you want to take advantage of some of the index format optimizations in the more recent Lucene version. BR, Jukka Zitting
