> Rational:
> ------------
> We at Adobe (and at Day Software before)
> developed quite some tooling around exporting, importing and syncing
> content from and to a JCR repository. The "checked-out" structure on
> the local filesystem also offers SVN-like operations, like update,
> checkin, status, etc., against the JCR repository. We called this
> system the "File Vault (vlt)". It uses the built-in JCR remoting of
> Jackrabbit to read and write the content.
> We also used the same serialization format to implement our "Content
> Packages" which basically are a zip of such an exported structure, w/o
> all the meta information needed for syncing. This packaging system
> also comes with a HTTP service and UI that allows to actually manage
> those packages (create, update, install, uninstall, upload, etc).
> Additionally we also developed some maven plugins that allow building
> such content packages, controlling vlt (the command line tool) and
> deploying content packages into a running repository.
> Our R&D thinks that the Jackrabbit project would benefit from such
> tooling since nothing comparable is established today. We are now at a
> stage where we cleared all hurdles with Adobe Legal, and streamlined
> the codebase so that we are ready to contribute.
