I didn't follow the details of the plans for JCR/Jackrabbit integration but as far as I understand it it is intended to be highly integrated with OFBiz (to replace Content Framework features): I am not sure how this is inline with Olivier's idea of a plugin, but it is an idea that can be explored. However, since we are still in this design phase I think it is a good idea to keep the component in the development branch in the meantime. Jacopo
