Apache Jackrabbit 2.0 alpha3

This is the second alpha (the alpha2 version was cancelled) release of Apache Jackrabbit 2.0. This release implements a pre-release version of the JCR 2.0 API, specified by the Java Specification Request 283 (JSR 283).

The purpose of this alpha release is to allow people to test and review the new JCR 2.0 features before they are finalized. Feedback to both the Jackrabbit project and the JSR 283 expert group is highly appreciated. Note that an alpha release is not expected to be feature-complete or otherwise suitable for production use.

See the full release notes for more details.

Release Archive

Only current recommended releases are available on the main distribution site and its mirrors. Older releases are available from the archive download site.

Verify

It is essential that you verify the integrity of the downloaded files using the PGP or MD5 signatures. Please read Verifying Apache HTTP Server Releases for more information on why you should verify our releases.

The PGP signatures can be verified using PGP or GPG. First download the KEYS file as well as the .asc signature files for the relevant release packages. Make sure you get these files from the main distribution directory, rather than from a mirror. Then verify the signatures using

% pgpk -a KEYS
% pgpv jackrabbit-X.Y.Z.jar.asc

or

% pgp -ka KEYS
% pgp jackrabbit-X.Y.Z.jar.asc

or

% gpg --import KEYS
% gpg --verify jackrabbit-X.Y.Z.jar.asc

Alternatively, you can verify the MD5 signature on the files. A Unix program called md5 or md5sum is included in many Unix distributions. It is also available as part of the GNU core utilities. Windows users can get binary md5 programs from here, here, or here.
