Re: Filesystems and OpenCMIS?

[Florian Müller <fm...@apache.org>]

Hi Andre,

There is already a basic file system implementation [1] that stores 
metadata in extra files. It shouldn't be difficult to change the 
implementation to store the metadata somewhere else. The main challenge 
is probably to find Java APIs that let you access the native 
capabilities of the underlying file system.
