The JCR-Explorer is a web-based tool to administer a JSR-170 (JCR) compliant Java Content Repository and its contents. It was started in 2005 by camunda as an internal project. In 2006 its sources were opened and published on camunda.com. In April 2007 it was put under Apache 2.0 license and moved over to SourceForge.net to encourage community-driven development and let it grow up to a mature tool.

Some of its features are:

• Browse the repository structure
• View and edit properties
• Query the repository using SQL or XPATH
• Import and export data
• Use the versioning feature of JCR
  
• Do operations on the repository and on items defined by the API, e.g. lock nodes
• View general repository information
• Administer workspaces

It is based on JSF and can be deployed into many applications by just dropping in one single WAR file. It requires a repository deployed and running in either model 2 or model 3 that is available within JNDI.

Please note: To open up this tool to the community it has been moved to SourceForge.net and is now available under www.jcr-explorer.org. Feel free to check it out, use it for any purpose, provide feedback or get involved...
