BerkeleyDB Persistence ********************** This is so easy it is hard to believe. The ``readme.txt`` file says: "Just use org.apache.jackrabbit.core.state.bdb.BerkeleyDBPersistenceManager as persistence managers in your repository.xml configuration file" So I changed the line in ``repository.xml`` from: :: to: :: In my project added ``jackrabbit-bdb`` to "Java Build Path, Projects". Deleted the old repository and everything worked perfectly.
