there is drools-repository - it does have a few jackrabbit specific
things to do with the setup of node types (as its not defined by the
JCR spec) - would be interesting to see it.
Is there a limit to the subset of JCR features you are supporting?

performance. I really can't wait to see some numbers.
Oh, and regarding performance tests, I'd love for people to contribute JCR
clients (e.g., classes that take a Repository) that automatically populate
then use the repository content.
Best regards,
