============================================================= Welcome to Apache Jackrabbit ============================================================= Apache Jackrabbit is a fully conforming implementation of the Content Repository for Java Technology API (JCR). A content repository is a hierarchical content store with support for structured and unstructured content, full text search, versioning, transactions, observation, and more. Typical applications that use content repositories include content management, document management, and records management systems. Jackrabbit is currently based on a pre-release version of the JCR 2.0 API defined by the Java Specification Request 283 (JSR 283, http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=283). Version 1.0 of the JCR API was specified by JSR 170. Apache Jackrabbit is a project of the Apache Software Foundation.
