Some JCR knowledge would help, but is not mandatory.  The OCM feature in

the existing APIs.
Jackrabbit's first hops should give a decent feeling for the tooling:

ModeShape's getting started guide as well:

JCR Module, with an integration in to seam security potentially.

There are JIRAs for these things, and I'll probably be breaking down further
