Hi everyone,

I'm planning quite an ambitious project, a swing desktop app (based on Netbeans Platform) which is supposed to offer Groupware functionality & DMS.
In particular the app will eventually include

 * an email client
 * a task module
 * a calendar module
 * manage binary files
 * and whatever else I can think of and add it later

I have chosen Apache Sling as the backend because of its REST API, I just didn't care for RMI access as I might need WAN access to the backend so HTTP / REST should make this easier. Another thing why I chose Sling is because of the OSGi based architecture, one of its tasks will be to periodically pull in new email from IMAP / POP3 servers.

Now, to get started, with the client, I'll try to implement a JCR browser.

I know that I can query the Sling repository and get JSON back, is this the most feasible format or should I rather try to get XML results?

Günther
