Any particular reason why you decided on an old cocoon version?
Yes, Cocoon 2.1.5.1 won't compile because ant is apparently being picked up wrongly from FC2, despite what the docs say; and Tomcat 5.5 has issues running under Java 1.5.0 unless you start adding patches.
If you're looking to use cocoon professionally, you should seriously consider using 2.1.5.1 - the 2.0.x branch is not actively maintained anymore (for over a year). Java 1.5 is not yet supported by cocoon so don't worry about tomcat just yet.
The wiki explanation on the endorsed lib prob is indeed a bit strange. Note that if you use Jetty you won't have this problem.
