Hi Cocoon-Users,
I followed the threads about a blank cocoon.war and I can understand the arguments of the people voting agains something like this and I can understand the problem some users have. When I started in the area of web applications it was often hard for me to solve even the simplest problems -- having such an option would have saved me lots of hours of work.
So yesterday evening I started to hack a small project that I would like to introduce now and get some feedback - maybe it will again this week if you convince me :)
My idea was to offer cocoon creator. It's a web application (at the of this writing in PHP -- I will convert it to cocoon if the concept is good enough) asking you some build-specific question (JDK to build, Cocoon version, blocks to include). Based on this information it will start to build a customized version of cocoon and offer it to download to user.
The basics are there and I'm happy with current state. This evening I will do some polishing and hope to get somebody of you for testing and critics. This is why I'm NOT going to publish the URL right now.
I really really enjoy cocoon and for me it's the best piece of software in terms of web publishing that I've found in the last years so this may be a way to give back something to the cocoon community until my cocoon skills are good enough to give back some really usefull stuff :)))
Because of time needed to build a complete .war file I'm running only one build at the same time so it may take a while until the user really gets the file. Because of the bandwidth I will also restrict the amount of downloads to around 20-30 per day (or 1000 per month, don't know yet...)
If someone is interested in testing this app please contact me and I will send you the URL.
Any other comments, flames or ideas are also welcome!
Thanks for your time... -- Patrick Hess
