> Using the JCR API to access files is a common use case for the  file system connector and our JCR implementation.  See the referenced forum thread.  
> However, there are times when additional properties from the files (e.g., properties of PDF or MS Office files) are to be loaded onto the nt:folder, nt:file, and nt:resource nodes.  The current implementation makes this much more difficult to achieve than it should be, since it requires creating a whole new connector and subclassing most of the classes in the existing file system connector.
> The existing classes should be changed so that it is far easier to add custom logic.  This change should be quite straightforward.
