JPOX Plugins
JPOX operation can utilise various 3rd party software to extend its functionality.
We provide this integration via plugins.

Nightly builds
If you are eager to try the latest features and bug fixes, try these fresh builds from our CVS.
Please be aware that these builds are development work-in-progress, and consequently any issue found
with these is your issue and not ours.
Please be aware that if you are using Maven 1.0 you could also add our
Maven1 Nightly Build repo http://www.jpox.org/downloads/maven-nightly/
to your "maven.repo.remote" to get the latest builds automatically.
Anything with suffix "-1.2-SNAPSHOT" is a nightly build for JPOX 1.2.
These builds are typically stable but things may be broke occasionally as new features are added etc.
You cannot report issues in JIRA against nightly builds, only against released versions of JPOX, but
should report any problems in the
General Development forum
if you have an issue with a nightly build.

JPOX has dependencies on a limited amount of third party software. The list of dependencies
are documented for JPOX 1.1 and for JPOX 1.2
on a plugin-by-plugin basis.
We hope that you are successful in your use of JPOX, and if you have any problems or queries, please
contact us using the Forums. Be aware that this is an
OpenSource project written by volunteers and, as such, we do not get paid for our work here (unless you
wish to make a donation to further development). As a result a response is
not guaranteed to be rapid, but we will respond as soon as we can.
