Apache Sling upgrade Jackrabbit

Question

have anyone done something like upgrading embedded jackrabbit server in Apache Sling v. 2.1? I'm not sure if it will be compatibile with sling.jcr.api. Can new version of Jackrabbit be provided as an osgi bundle or is it better to rebuild whole sling?

I cannot find nothing about that in documentation.

You should be able to simply upgrade the dependencies. The Sling bundles are typically backwards compatible, so just try it. If anything breaks, it's probably a bug and should be reported.
