Thanks for pointing me to this JLAN module. I am indeed asking whether it is possible to use the JLAN module on another ECM system, in this case Sharepoint 2010.

Looks like the JLAN module is very extensible by nature and it is 'fairly easy' to implement a custom adapter that leverages a mapping database from former UNC path location to the new Sharepoint 2010 location to stream the original file. Or, just to stream a container document with the link to the new link in it to offer some kind of redirection experience.

Are there any limitations technically or license-wise I need to know of?
What versions of JDK and Windows are supported?
Can we just download it and start using it on production environments?
