DSpace Developers,

I'm looking for feedback on who is actively using SWORDv2 to interact with 
DSpace.

As you may or may not be aware, unfortunately the SWORDv2 Java Library 
(https://github.com/swordapp/JavaServer2.0) has been unmaintained for 9 years.  
This library is depended on by DSpace for our SWORDv2 support.

Recently, we've discovered that this SWORDv2 Java Library is incompatible​​ 
with Apache Solr 8.10.0 (or above), as the SWORDv2 Java Library relies on 
obsolete dependencies (namely the abandoned Apache Abdera project).  This 
unfortunately means that, as soon as DSpace updates to Apache Solr 8.10.0 (or 
above), we will break our SWORDv2 module.  If you'd like all the technical 
details, see this ticket: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/issues/8188

While no decision has been made, it seems we may have only two options.... fork 
& fix that old SWORDv2 Java Library or abandon SWORDv2 support in the nearish 
future.

So, I'm currently looking for feedback on who knows of integrations that are 
heavily reliant on SWORDv2.  I've heard some rumors that some publishers may be 
still using SWORDv2 to send content to DSpace.  But I'm looking for 
verification on who is actively using / aware of SWORDv2 usage with any recent 
version (5.x, 6.x or 7.x) of DSpace.

Thanks in advance for any feedback you can provide.

Tim
