I'm brand new to Cocoon (3 weeks I think) and I think this is a good idea. Granted, I did get Tomcat and Cocoon runing just fine on my Redhat box, bundling would be great. What if someone sold CD's of everything bundled plus a few extra samples for a couple of bucks?

Hi, this is a plea, from an experienced developer, to bundle working
versions of cocoon with servlet engines. Just Tomcat would be enough.

This is my story:
2 years ago I came across cocoon, liked the concept, and developed a cocoon-1.8 based application - see www.efonds24.de
Every 3-5 months since then I start thinking along the similar
lines and try to install cocoon 2.x on Jboss, Tomcat or whatever and
notice IT DOES NOT WORK.
I go back to the web site, read the parts about installing and replacing
the XML parser, try that and find that IT STILL DOES NOT WORK
I then guess, the tomcat/jboss/whatever codebase may have moved on or
maybe the cocoon codebase moved on or my JDK ist out of date and maybe
the documentation on the web site has not yet caught on. So I go back, read the mailing lists and fetch the latest releases,
compile, fix and reinstall and find that ***NONE OF IT WORKS ***

Now I may be a dumb idiot or simply out of luck, but I always think:
HOW SAD... cocoon is great technology, but it would have much wider
distribution if they could ease deployment and

thanks for listening.
