Ok, I had some remembrance that we had decided to have a particular directory structure on the COBs, but I couldn't find any documentation on that, do you have any link or example?


no. But AFAIK there aren't many rules. Those that I know of are:

Blocks have a block.xml descriptor and a COB-INF directory, that can contain a directory "classes" and "lib".
The block's root sitemap (if there exists any) is defined by the block.xml.


I don't know why we named it "COB-INF" but there was (still is?) a good reason for this because I remember some long discussion. Apart from this I'm not sure where to put "block.xml". In analogy to WAR files it should be "COB-INF/block.xml".

If the reasons for COB-INF vanished in the meantime, I propose following directory structure:

--------------------------------------------------------------
[cocoon block] [DIR]
 |
 +-- BLOCK-INF [DIR]
      +-- block.xml
      +-- classes [DIR]
      +-- lib [DIR]
--------------------------------------------------------------

WDYT?

Should do the work AFAICS, we will see if we need anything else.
