Bump Jackrabbit to the latest 2.14 release

[AndyScherzinger]

At the moment we are using 2.12.x which is still using http client 3.1 while the new release 2.14 bumped the version to 4.1, see http://jackrabbit.510166.n4.nabble.com/ANNOUNCE-Apache-Jackrabbit-2-14-0-released-td4666058.html

The main changes in this release are:

• Switch WebDAV client components to HttpClient 4.5.x (summary in JCR-2406)
• Introduction of Commons-VFS Datastore implementation (JCR-3975)
• Allow use of JDK7 features (JCR-4030)

I completely support you in working on this! :)

This might be an issue though since older versions of Android ship the http client themselves which it might need to be repacked, but then that hasn't been done before (ever)

Fork, change name of the lib, include :D

[AndyScherzinger]

Name is not enough
you need to change the packages, else you will have collisions and depend on the classloader to pick the one you want!

[mario]

I know. I was joking :P Do it :D

[AndyScherzinger]

alternatively we could look at https://github.com/lookfirst/sardine but that might need a bit of work to integrate too since it might (also) not be Android compatible

[mario]

Already looked into that - not Android compatible, and the Android-compatible fork is really really bad.

Long term, I think we'll either write our own lib or extend the one used by DavDroid to suit us, but for now ... I really think we should integrate 2.14 if we can in any way.

[AndyScherzinger]

Not sure if that works, since we would have to do what's been mentioned above, repackaging the complete thing... Since the build will drop the http client (which is incompatible to 3.x) and this is likely breaking the whole thing :/

[AndyScherzinger]

installed https://github.com/nextcloud/android/tree/jackrabbit214 on my phone and it seems to work... will have to test this a little.

Anyone having a IPv6 Installation?

Anyone having a IPv6 Installation?

Yes, is it the right time to test this now?

[AndyScherzinger]

Yes, is it the right time to test this now?

No, I just asked since I don't have an IPv6 setup, so I can't really work on this issue even if I wanted to...

This is being worked on right now: I switched get activity operation already to newest v2 system.
