Question

Is there any program that emulates a Windows filesystem folder or drive to show a remote CMIS folder and its content, just like if it were present on the local disk?

I am not looking for a tool like CmisSync which synchronizes files.

I am looking for a tool that only pretends that files are on the local disk, but actually reads/writes everything to the server directly. That means that files will not be available when offline, which is not a problem - a bit like you can mount a remote WebDAV folder so that it shows in Windows Explorer and other applications.

Editing office files directly from this folder must work.

Explanation / Answer

Not a direct solution but there is a japanese lib called JDokan (well, it's a Java wrapper over Dokan) which allow you to write file system extensions (in the same way Fuse allow you on Linux). As a Java developper, I guess it could be possible to write an implementation using OpenCMIS client lib to connect to server ...
