Exactly. The documentation lacks a lot of basic things. Many changes in 
the development have not been applied to the confluence Wiki.

The description on how to embed the server for instance or the way how 
to use ApacheDS in unit tests have to be updated before officially 
releasing a 2.0.

A release candidate gives us a chance to consolidate that.

But we have the same problem as always. Which confluence space to use? 
Shall we reactivate DIRxSRVx20, and move things from 1.5 to there?
