Well, the Cocoon element is in flux. My goal is that it contains

Do we still have such a thing like a "Cocoon installed"?

For now I think it's enough if we create everything from the scratch. The target location points to the directory where you want the whole thing to be deployed.

 - a webapp skeleton - at least a web.xml we need


And the Deployer expects a WEB-INF/wiring.xml there as well (I thought the Deployer is capable doing "auto-wiring"?)

   in the case of cocoon:dev-deploy


Whats dev-deploy? Another goal? Isn't simple-deploy and deploy enough?

yes sure. Let's call it simple-deploy.

 - a version as deployment could change in the future (to be future-safe)


Ok.

 - does deployment remove all existing blocks (attribute "exclusive")


Ok.

Currently the skeleton attribute is missing and needs to be added to the schema. The content is something like "org.apache.cocoon:cocoon-webapp-skeleton:1.0" and can be resolved by the ArtifactFactory/Resolver of Maven.


Aha. I that something like the cocoon-webapp blockor something new?

yes, from its structure yes but I think of something more leight-weight. Maybe a web.xml only and XML catalogs but not all the stylesheets which will become a separate block.
