Alternative webdav client api?

Hi,

the retirement announcement for Slide, mentions Jackrabbit
as an alternative
to slide.
I am mostly interested in using the api to access an
existing WebDav
repository, but
it seems Jackrabbit is mostly focused on the server side of
webdav, not the
client.

Is there a natural migration path for my situation?

Thanks in advance for any help,

Florian

We have found the slide client to be stable and free of
issues. I
would not immediately assume that it is not a good option
because the
development effort has been retired.

There are already some mails about this on the jackrabbit
user list. I
think you have a better chance of getting help on that
list,

That is correct. But they do have a WebDAV extension to
HttpClient.
Besides, Slide was also mostly focused on the server side

If all you use is the client, there is no immediate hurry.
However,
the Slide WebDAV client is based on an unsupported backlevel
version
of HttpClient, besides being unsupported itself. As long as
it works,
you're fine. As soon as a problem occurs, you're on your
own.

The Jackrabbit WebDAV client is your best option at Apache.
I don't know about any non-Apache WebDAV clients.

cheers,
