From what I've heard on the list so far, though, the Maven build is a
long way from working correctly. Until it does, I'm not wasting my
time trying to look at Cocoon 2.2, I'm sticking with the 2.1.x branch.
I can't recall seeing lots of bug reports in JIRA saying "the Ant
build mechanism sucks". On the other hand, there's nearly 90 open
issues for the forms block. Draw your own conclusions as to what
users think needs fixing and what works well enough... Then go and do
whatever is best technically, since what do users know anyway? :-)
We'll catch up again and learn the new ways once it's done and
working. But in the meantime don't be surprised at the lack of
feedback; you haven't yet convinced us it's worth the pain.
Well, I could buy into this except for one little thing. Like almost all
the other committers, I'm a user too. I wouldn't be interested in a
Maven build if I didn't think it was going to simplify my life.
