02 November 2007 - Jakarta Slide is retired

The Apache Jakarta PMC is sorry to announce the retirement of the Jakarta Slide subproject. After it's last release in December 2004, development activity was significantly reduced and came to a total standstill this year. Without a minimum developer community that can release security fixes, we have no choice but to retire Slide. We'll keep at least one of the mailing lists open for a transition period, so users can discuss alternatives and migration away from Slide. Further use of the Slide codebase is discouraged.

One alternative to Slide is provided by the Apache Jackrabbit project. Jackrabbit has a healthy, active developer community and provides, among others things:

  • a server-side content repository
  • a WebDAV server component for access to the repository
  • a WebDAV client component

Please visit http://jackrabbit.apache.org/ for more information.

We apologize for the inconveniences.
