Description

In order to facilitate the move to a different backend in 3.0, and also allowing people the choice of the 3.0 backend provider, we should have an export tool which can export the old format repository to the JCR XML export format (System View). This will also be useful in 3.0 for people who want to have an implementation-independent database dump.

A couple of requirements:

• Must run with existing 2.8.x
• Must have an export functionality in the Admin UI
• Should have also a simple GUI
• Should have also a command-line interface
• Should also export version histories (though there is no standard representation defined in JCR, we may have to invent our own.)
• May have built-in compression (the XML files are bound to be large)

(For 3.0 it then obviously becomes: add a tool which allows importing of such XML document.)
