I don't know anything about this Content Repository API but I agree with 
Sean that it is a bit concerning to be dependent on something that might 
no longer be maintained. I see the last update to the API was 2009 but I 
can't tell if this is one of these APIs with multiple implementations 
maintained by different projects. Do you know if anyone has been 
maintaining an implementation has tested it on JDK 7 or newer? As the 
API was developed in the JCP then it may be that it needs a maintenance 
JSR to update. This assumes of course that it is still relevant and 
intended to work with modern JDK releases.
