Before you jump up and down and scream "no, no, binaries are easier for our users", get off your life-without-a-compiler-windows-inflicted-mindset and think that every JDK comes with a compiler.
Technically, I'm with you all the way but *psychologically* and from a marketing point of view I'd be -1 on making a source-only distribution.
IMHO this would only reinforce the feeling that Cocoon is meant for bearded unix gurus.
I know many people who would be very afraid of having to *compile* Cocoon before using it, maybe for fear that it would recompile their desktop into KDE at the same time ;-)
I think Nicola is right about the need to distribute a full-blown .war file (for life-without-a-compiler users) and a .jar (for other projects that use Cocoon).
