I use the main Cocoon sitemap as a kind of 'switchboard', without having any of my site code within it. I then have a sub-sitemap for a site which contains all of the code specific to that site. That sitemap does not need to be within the tomcat/webapps/cocoon folder, it can be anywhere. I then keep all of my XML, XSL, etc in the same folder (or in xml, xsl, etc subfolders of..) as the sub-sitemap. That means, when I want to deploy a site, all I have to do is copy that folder with its sitemap and sub-folders, and update the root sitemap to mount the sub- sitemap. Works well for me. As to minimal build, there has been a lot of work going into this recently, but all of this work has gone into the latest (not-yet-released) Cocoon 2.1. You can edit a file excluding the bits you don't want, and then run the build process which can prepare you a war file ready for deployment with just the features you want. For 2.0.4 you need to use the methods described on the wiki.
