Feedback on the current documentation

[Changshin Lee <ia...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I tried Jackrabbit and found the following updates were needed in
http://jackrabbit.apache.org/doc/firststeps.html and
http://jackrabbit.apache.org/dependencies.html.

commons-collections 3.2
jta-1.0.1B
junit 4.1
log4j 1.2.14
derby 10.2.1.6
slf4j 1.0.2
xerces 2.8.1

I tested Jackrabbit with the updated dependencies above and it worked
fine. Note that Lucene and some other libraries didn't work well with
their latest version.

Cheers,

Ias

Thanks for the heads up and test results!

The documented dependencies are the tested and known good
configuration to run Jackrabbit with, so while we certainly can
upgrade to newer versions, I prefer to avoid changes unless there is a
known benefit in upgrading. The best way to request dependency
upgrades is to file Jira enhancement requests for the individual
dependencies so we can better track any regressions related to the
change.

Note that the Lucene upgrade request is already filed as JCR-352, you
can check the details of the incompatibility problem there.
