A content repository is a hierarchical content store with support for structured and unstructured content, full text search, versioning, transactions, observation, and more.
Typical applications that use content repositories include content management, document management, and records management systems.
Version 1.0 of the JCR API was specified by the Java Specification Request 170 (JSR 170) and work on the JCR version 2.0 has begun in JSR 283.
Apache Jackrabbit is a project of the Apache Software Foundation.
Enhancements:
- Apache Jackrabbit 1.1.1 is a patch release that fixes a number of issues, see the included change history for details.
- No new features or configuration changes have been introduced since the 1.1 release.

AntUnit is a library of Ant tasks that was initially developed to write tests for Ant tasks without resorting to JUnit. Apache AntUnit makes it easy to turn an existing build file that exhibits an error into an AntUnit test.

Tests are written as targets in a build file using assertion tasks provided by AntUnit. The antunit task executes targets in a collection of build files and supports custom listeners in a manner similar to the junit tasks formatters.

Apache Solr is a high performace search server based on Lucene, with XML/HTTP and JSON APIs, hit highlighting, faceted search, caching, replication, and a Web administration interface.
The project is currently under incubation at the Apache Software Foundation.
Instructions for Building Apache Solr
1. Download the J2SE 5.0 JDK (Java Development Kit) or later from http://java.sun.com. You will need the JDK installed, and the %JAVA_HOME%bin directory included on your command path. To test this, issue a "java -version" command from your shell and verify that the Java version is 5.0 or later.
2. Download the Apache Ant binary distribution from http://ant.apache.org. You will need Ant installed and the %ANT_HOME%bin directory included on your command path. To test this, issue a "ant -version" command from your shell and verify that Ant is available.
3. Download the Apache Solr source distribution, linked from the above incubator web site. Expand the distribution to a folder of your choice, e.g. c:solr.
4. Navigate to that folder and issue an "ant" command to see the available options for building, testing, and packaging solr.
Enhancements:
- This is the first release since graduating from the Apache Incubator.
- Some of the new features include CSV/delimited-text data loading, time based autocommit, faster faceting, negative filters, a spell-check handler, sounds-like word filters, regex text filters, and more flexible plugins.

Apache MyFaces is the first free open source Java Server Faces implementation.

What is Java Server Faces (JSF)?

Java Server Faces is a new and upcoming web application framework that accomplishes the MVC paradigm. It is comparable to the well-known Struts Framework but has features and concepts that are beyond those of Struts - especially the component orientation.

Look at Suns JSF Page to learn more about the Java Specification Request 127 and to download the specification. You can also find a useful Tutorial there!

Quickstart

Make sure to have a look at our examples - you can find a working distribution here.
Find instructions on installing them yourselves in our Getting Started section. If you cant find information you need on these pages, make sure you also go to our WIKI
