Hi there, I'm planning to officially end-of-life Jackrabbit Oak 1.2 next week (see <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-9349>):
Users of 1.2 who can move to Java 8 should switch to the latest stable release (currently 1.38.0). Users of 1.2 who can move to Java 7 can switch to Oak 1.6.20, with the caveat that this branch will require Java 8 with the next release (1.6.21). In general, users of 1.2 are encouraged to switch to a platform compatible with Java 8 (or newer). What it'll mean in actual actions: links will be removed from the download page news will be posted on the homepage [announce] will be sent to jr-user, jr-dev, oak-dev branch and tags WILL stay there See also http://jackrabbit.apache.org/oak/docs/roadmap.html If you have any concerns speak out before next week Tuesday. Best regards, Julian
