Basically I agree with you but as soon as the ReloadingClassloader is integrated I don't see a reason not to use it at development time which makes auto-compilation mandatory. I'm an Eclipse user, but don't support IDEA and Netbeans auto-compilation either?


Well, from a users POV an XML, XSLT, sitemap file is a totally different thing than a class file (which he obviously knows to be compiled first before being usable).

I'd say that we should wait for user feedback on this. The thing is that I hesitate to make too many things configureable, but sure, if configurations are required, we can add them.

Currently cocoon:simple-deploy points to ./target/classes. We can make this configureable so that people can point to ./src/java/resources. The only thing that I really want to avoid is the possibility to set two locations for a block, one for the compiled Java classes and one for the resources (smells like FS ...).
