Are docs about that anywhere in the outside world without having to pay

which cocoon version are you refering to ?

I can't agree. Cocoon 2.1, which you are probably using, has a quite 
simple directory structure. Not everything might be obvious on the first 
sight, but you might ask more specific questions to get it explained.


The endorsed dir you refer to is nothing Cocoon specific, but a general 
Java 1.4 problem with XML libs: 
http://wiki.apache.org/cocoon/EndorsedLibsProblem.

There is some documentation available to get started. Furthermore you 
can have a look into the block structure and adapt one, especially the 
tour block, which introduces the most important ones:
http://cocoon.zones.apache.org/demos/release/samples/blocks/tour/intro/docs/index.html 
(also available in your local installation). Later one you should not 
integrate your code into Cocoon's build, but integrate Cocoon into your 
build.
