Rather than a WAR file I think we need a .tar.gz and .zip which
contains a whole directory structure, that people can take and start
adding their own things to build their Cocoon-based Web
application. It should contain a configurable build.xml which compiles
the application, and builds the WAR file of the application.

I have such a directory structure setup here at HP as an easy way to
jump-start Cocoon-based projects. The directory structure is like
this:

your-webapp/
  bin/
    ant
    ant.bat
    antRun
    antRun.bat
    lcp.bat
  lib/
    avalon-excalibur-4.0.jar
    avalon-framework-4.0.jar
    batik-libs.jar
    cocoon.jar
    dom2.jar
    hsqldb.jar
    jakarta-regexp.jar
    javac.jar
    logkit.jar
    maybeupload.jar
    resolver.jar
    xalan.jar
    xerces.jar
  src/
  webapp/
    WEB-INF/
      logkit.xconf
      web.xml.in
    cocoon.xconf
    sitemap.xmap
  build.bat
  build.sh
  build.xml

The build.xml builds the Web app in a build/ directory, and could be
configured to copy only the jar files needed by your application.

I can add this to the repository and update Cocoon's main build.xml to
create a separate .tar.gz/.zip distribution for this if we agree on
it. What would be a good name for a subdirectory inside Cocoon that
contains this?
