Is there a tool to directly edit the contents of a Jackrabbit repository?

Question

I have a file system based Jackrabbit repository which I would like to view and edit directly. Is there an existing tool that allows me to view/edit/delete/add nodes directly?

For whats it worth it took me a day to write a swing app that could view/edit/delete nodes and I'm not even a swing developer! – Coniology

Answer 1

Jackrabbit itself currently has no built-in general-purpose JCR explorer, but there are some open source options available. This article gives a good overview, and the JCRLinks page on the Jackrabbit wiki has a section about such tools.

The best web-based one is probably the JCR Explorer. And for use in Eclipse, Day's Eclipse plugin offers most features (it also supports Jackrabbit).

Thanks, Alexander. That's really helpful! – Turbary

Answer 2

If it's behind a WebDAV server, mount it as a file system.

Ah, i wish it were behind a webdav server, but in this case it's not. I'm hoping there's a direct tool to examine the contents of the repository. – Turbary
