I am afraid I must also raise my hand, even both hands!, again and again looking for help to understand the whole thing! :-) I am far from being able to answer your question on a solid basis, but read this extracted from Jackrabbit FAQ at http://jackrabbit.apache.org/frequently-asked-questions.html ...
***** *What is a Jackrabbit file system?* A Jackrabbbit file system (FS) is an internal component that implements standard file system operations on top of some underlying storage mechanism (a normal file system, a database, a webdav server, or a custom file format). A file system component is any Java class that implements the FileSystem interface and the associated behavioral contracts. File systems are used in Jackrabbit both as subcomponents of the persistence managers and for general storage needs (for example to store the full text indexes). ***** So, it seems to me that Jackrabbit is a kind of overall layer that doesn't mind what in the hell it has under it. And a "normal" file system is one of the options. So, I guess any application running now on XWiki will keep working, or must keep running, it this or any other content stored is adopted to held future XWiki development. By the way, are you following xwiki-devs? See this... http://www.nabble.com/XWiki--Dev-f2564.html And Jira Issues are also of great help trying to understand what is going on within XWiki. Just in case you have not gone there yet... http://jira.xwiki.org As far as I can perceive, this is a hot topic in XWiki.
