We have already discussed this, see http://www.nabble.com/Why-there's-no-jcr-1.0.jar-in-1.4-war-dist--td15216240.html Until Sling is released, what about if we create a .zip file (instead of the .war file) that includes the current .war file and the jcr-api.jar, and a readme.txt and readme.html that contains the documentation how to install and run it?
