Ok, let's see your proposal in the flesh. We're probably seing the problem from different perspectives here.
Sure, we have the same problem: assembling a Cocoon suited to our project's need in the most simple way.
...We must come back to a binary distro which can be stripped down easily and started without having to open a console window. That will make Cocoon less scary...
Hmm...I still think people need to be comfortable with a command-line to be efficient with Cocoon. you'd lose too much by sticking to point and click. But having such a distro wouldn't hurt for training or initial contact with Cocoon.
Well, here is what I need to type on the command line as a user (not talking of developing Cocoon):
- build.sh webapp
- cocoon.sh servlet
Provide a binary distro and have cocoon.sh/bat start as servlet by default and you can develop your entire project without ever using a commandline prompt.
