I think so, Cocoon 2.1 is here to stay for a while. FWIW, a
colleague of mine (Daniele Madama) wrote a small GUI to manage
blocks selection (think make xconfig for the linux kernel). If
you deem it useful, my take is Daniele would be glad to
contribute it.
On FreeBSD, there is a Cocoon installer that has such a GUI. See
attached screenshot. This is based on a BSD Makefile.
If I ever needed another reason to praise the FreeBSD guys, here it
is... however, I fear that tool is less than portable, given it
requires make and ncurses/dialog/whatever. My take is that a minimal
Swing app able to deal with dependencies might be a good step forward
anyway.
Well, here is where the Ant installer [1] would suit you. It's config
file could be generated with a single XSLT from gump.xml (I did have a
version of it working). IIRC it would add around 900K to our download.
Only downside: http://antinstaller.sourceforge.net/roadmap.html says
"Support for JDK1.3". I don't know how hard it would be to add it,
although I guess I could have a go.
