Ok.

How could I, or anyone, *force* "everybody" (or anyone) to do anything
here? Why would I want to?
</from>

Yes, you right. "Force" is a wrong word in an Open Source community. But see
below what Ovidiu suggests ;)

I'd change it to a warning. It's possible to add a new JAR and don't run the
build for a while - but the other users won't be happy with it ;)

<from person="Vadim">
Can't we reuse tools/ directory for this?
</from>

I've discussed it with Nicola, but he wants to keep the 'tools' directory as
clear as possible. He suggested to use something like 'src/resources' as
those files are resources for developers. IMO, 'resources' is a very often
used name and something like 'dev' or 'dev-tool' in the root would be
better.

No, they are helper stylesheets for dictionary generation, convertion,
merge, etc. Maybe someday I'll create a bat file for them (or add a special
target to the build) or even create a GUI application, who knows...

Partially it was a joke.
But it would be fine to separate the 'core' (or better 'most used parts')
from specific or rarely used ones (SOAP, DELI, etc.). We could have a
'standart' Cocoon and an C2EE (Cocoon 2 Enterprise Edition) with all the
advanced things, like Schecoon, Charts, LDAP, Portal/Authentication, etc.

I've also created a 'myapp' having in mind a requirement to have a Minimal
Cocoon (or a Quick Start Cocoon) and it would be fine if somebody more
experienced in Ant would create a build target for it. (Or maybe give me a
hint on where to start. Do we have a modular build already?).

And we can have C2ME, C2SE, C2EE ;).
