I switched to use maven for all my projects after evaluating cocoon 2.2. It was a steep learning curve, but it was definitly worth doing it. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but with cocoon 2.2 the only thing one needs, to write custom applications, are jars from core and used blocks. What maven does, is managing the dependencies for the user. If one opts for not using maven, he/she would have to manage this complex task on his/her own. This is the point where help is needed. What do you think of a web application that does it for the users? It could be a simple list of blocks and core components with description and a nice cocoon app that reads the actual poms and zips all important jars before deliviring them to the user. This could even be included as a sample app. Martin. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
