As I said before, the advantage of JCS is that it provides an interface to many different store types - which greatly enhances the functionality of Cocoon. I don't think there's much point in developing yet another cache library when there are lots out there that do the job well :) (I guess that's why JISP was chosen to start with.)
That's indeed the thing that I want to see: the abstraction of caching/store through a cache layer. Therefore we should not add EHCache or any other to our CVS, but add it to JCS, so that we can access it through the JCS interfaces.
We do have that of course with the excalibur Store service interface, albeit a JSR compliant one would be preferable. Still, plugging in your caching product of choice is a trivial matter.
I'm do wonder why the EHCache guys decided to fork instead of contribute to JCS.
