I have a file system based Jackrabbit repository which I would like to view and edit directly. Is there an existing tool that allows me to view/edit/delete/add nodes directly?
The easiest way to access a Jackrabbit repository over RMI is to use the RMI endpoint that the Jackrabbit standalone jar exposes at http://localhost:8080/rmi.
Apache Jackrabbit Oak is an effort to implement a scalable and performant hierarchical content repository for use as the foundation of modern world-class web sites and other demanding content applications. It is the successor to Jackrabbit 2 and is used by AEM 6 as the default backend for its content repository, CRX.
Jackrabbit itself currently has no built-in general-purpose JCR explorer, but there are some open source options available. This article gives a good overview, and the JCRLinks page on the Jackrabbit wiki has a section about such tools.
The best web-based one is probably the JCR Explorer. And for use in Eclipse, Day's Eclipse plugin offers most features (it also supports Jackrabbit).
