ehcache 2.7.0

Ehcache is an easy to use, handy Java distributed cache that can be used for general purpose caching, as well as Java EE and light-weight containers.

Ehcache is a tool that features memory and disk stores, allows you to replicate by copy and invalidate, listeners, cache loaders, cache extensions, cache exception handlers, and also contains a gzip caching servlet filter and much, much more.
