Hi Robert,

first thanks for your VFS tutorial, I'll have at look at it tomorrow.

+ The problem: Currently extending VFS with new file system providers cannot be 
done in an elegant manner. Special code needs to be written to register new 
file systems for new schemas.
  

This is not true.

VFS will scan through the classpath (also within jars) and searches for 
a vfs-providers.xml please see

http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/vfs/api.html Configuring Commons VFS

So you can add filesystems by just adding your provider-jar to the 
classpath.


The format of vfs-providers.xml is the same as providers.xml

providers.xml is the default configuration of VFS and available in every 
distribution.

The VFS project could make use of the powerful plugin mechanism available in Eclipse (actually they are migrating towards the OSGi plugin model). 
  
BTW: If VFS uses the OSGi plugin model in addition, what does this mean 
to the dependencies, which new dependencies are requried and what 
license do they have?
