You forgot that since GBeans used in Geronimo, basing Cocoon on GBeans 
means easier integration with/into Geronimo, which is significant

Well, is it really?

So which point do you want to argue, that it won't be easier integration, or 
isn't an advantage?


The fact that Eclipse is based on OSGi, does it mean Cocoon will be 
doggish slow if it is also based on OSGi, as Eclipse already is? It 
might be FUD as I've not seen OSGi, but I've seen Eclipse.

Actually, OSGi is a key point in the performance improvements in the 
upcoming Eclipse 3.1. It was introduced in 3.0 but many plugins were 
still written on the previous kernel API, and the more plugins move to 
the OSGi API, the more startup time increases

I could care less of startup time: I'm one of those who starts up IDE once in a 
month (after patching M$ windows ;-)).


and memory used decreases, 
by allowing on-demand loading of plugins.

"On-demand loading" means more sluggish UI, right? Once you click on something, 
you have to wait till it loads :-)
