I unzipped a new copy of 1.2.0.1 and started it. I go to the repository
browser and again the widget does not appear. The logs don't show any error
message. Are you sure there is nothing that is somehow shared or reused
between instances ?

I agree, but somehow i've managed to 'bury' my content in the jcr
repositories and i'll have to rebuild it from scratch.

IMO (and i'm not saying this is in the scope of artifactory), there should
always be some brute force tool that allows you to get the content out,
regardless of corruption/locking etc. At the end of the day we're still
talking java processes und overworked administrators, so anything can happen
:-)
