Report from the Apache Jackrabbit committee [Michael Dürig] (Submitted 14.12.16)
## Description:
The Apache Jackrabbit™ content repository is a fully conforming
implementation of the Content Repository for Java™ Technology API
(JCR, specified in JSR 170 and 283). The Jackrabbit content
repository is stable, largely feature complete and actively being
maintained.
Jackrabbit Oak is an effort to implement a scalable and performant
hierarchical content repository as a modern successor to the Apache
Jackrabbit content repository. It is targeted for use as the
foundation of modern world-class web sites and other demanding
content applications. In contrast to its predecessor, Oak does not
implement all optional features from the JSR specifications and it
is not a reference implementation.
## Issues:
There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.
## Activity:
Apache Jackrabbit Oak receives most attention nowadays. All
maintenance branches and the unstable development branch are
continuously seeing moderate to high activity.
Apache Jackrabbit itself is mostly in maintenance mode with most of
the work going into bug fixing and tooling. New features are mainly
driven by dependencies from Oak.
In reaction of the recent move of the JSON license to Category X
the PMC removed usages of respective libraries from all versions of
all products released within the Jackrabbit project. See See JCR-4068
and OAK-5171.
## Health report:
The project is healthy with a continuous stream of traffic
on all mailing lists reflecting the activity of the respective
component / sub-project.
Commit activity is moderate to high in preparation of new major
release early next year.
The oak-dev list is seeing a broad variety of topics being
discussed.
