Hi,

I'm trying to build Cocoon 2.2 SVN version with an empty Maven repository on my 
machine. It does not build, there are some daisy dependencies that cannot be 
downloaded from anywhere and there are wrong version numbers for Cocoon's own 
subprojects.

Can somebody fix this situation? It is not only very inconvenient but also a 
rather embarrassing, newcomers to Cocoon will quickly give up, which is a shame.

Also, I'd like to be able to use some blocks which are still classified as 
-SNAPSHOT even though they are perfectly useable. Preferably I would like all 
the blocks from the blocks folder (that are reasonably stable) to be 
downloadable from an external repository. Because the modules do not have a 
non-SNAPSHOT version they are not in any repo afaik and I am forced to build 
cocoon from the source, which gives me the above mentioned troubles.

I appreciate that all the developers have left for Cocoon 3, but please, this 
is really bad advertising for Cocoon, so please please fix it. As long as there 
is no shiny Cocoon 3, most people will use Cocoon 2.2 and some people will try 
to build it from source, if only for the extra modules.

Thanks,

Huib.
