Good job!
Really good job. It is really useful. I have a question. Is it possible to embed jlibrary client in another rcp application? How can we do that?

Sure, it can
Thanks for your words John.
Yes, you can embed jLibrary on other RCP app, and also doing the opposite. Soon we would release a JCR browser embedded on jLibrary. It's already done but needs testing, but it's an RCP application that has been integrated to run embedded on jLibrary too.
So, if you only want to show jLibrary, simply drop the plug-ins as you would do normally with Eclipse.
If you want to add your custom menus, toolbars, etc., then more work is needed, feel free to head to the developers lists for talking about that.
Cheers.
Martin

jLibrary & Alfresco?
I might be misunderstanding what jLibrary is, but has there been any discussion around using jLibrary as a fat client UI for an Alfresco repository? It seems like the two systems would be quite complementary (Alfreso -> rich DMS server, jLibrary -> rich DMS client).
I'm guessing Alfresco doesn't expose all of its functionality via JSR-170 (http://www.apoorv.info/index.php/2006/02/20/jsr-170-report-card/ - look for the reply from John Newton), so has there been any thought about a tighter but more functionally rich integration than JSR-170 alone would allow?
Cheers,
Peter

Re: jLibrary & Alfresco?
Hi Peter.
Some users asked me the same on the last weeks. Integrate jLibrary with Alfresco is possible but a hard task without help, so it's not on our current plans, unless anyone/any team is really interested on that and put some effort.
On the later case I would love to help. There is a project on the Alfresco Forge[1] that allows to integrate Alfresco with any Jackrabbit repository (like the one behind jLibrary), so it should be possible.

Api documentation
To integrate it, i need some documentation on the api used, for example, to retrieve documents on a particular event in rcp...Where can i find it or a mailing list (i didn't find it on your site).
Greetings
John

Re: Api documentation
You can take a look at the source code at CVS. Anyways, I will publish the docs as soon as possible. But well, if you subscribe to the mailing list, I have no problems to help.

Re: jLibrary 1.0 final released
Congratulations Martin !
It has been a while since the last time I look to the jLibrary project and this final release seems to include a lot of new interesting features.
Joining some of the comments about the integration with other solutions i'm wondering whether jlibrary could be leveraged with a platform such eXo Platform and more particularly with the eXo ECM component which is alos based on the JCR.
Regards,
Miguel Valdes

Re: jLibrary 1.0 final released
Hello Miguel.
Sure it can be integrated. Currently jLibrary has minor dependencies on Apache Jackrabbit. These dependencies have to do with non-standard JSR-170 features like repository removal. But it shouldn't be very hard to attach a new JSR-170 implementation.
Obviously, the problem is always the same: time and resources. But if there is someone at the exo team interested on that, we wouldn't have any problems on helping on the mailing lists.
Regards,
Martin

Re: jLibrary 1.0 final released
Sure, I will contact the people from eXo and let them know about this possibility...
BTW, The Bonita project team has been working with eXo last weeks. As a first result of this collaboration we have successfully integrated Bonita within the eXo ECM suite as a workflow engine providing support for document management processes.
I saw in your roadmap that you have plans to provide workflow support in JLibrary so don't hesitate to contact us if your choice is Bonita :-)
Regards,
Miguel
