The lib/jars.xml file explains where each jar is used, e.g. which block, or perhaps core too. So doing ./build.sh to compile and run whatever code tests are included, then ./cocoon.sh and exercise the relevant Sample. > >IIUC, then Cocoon-2.1 will need to remain at a limited low version of > >Java.

The Cocoon-2.1 README.txt says Java 1.3 However for example this is already in our C-2.1 SVN: lib/optional/xmlgraphics-commons-1.3.1.jar and version 1.3 is the first to require Java 1.4 http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/commons/#news-2008-06-11 -David
