The configuration stuff is definitely necessary. Many of the resources are probably not necessary. For example, the document-v*.dtd etc. were needed when we had the Cocoon documentation packaged with the webapp and generated by Cocoon. That has all been ripped out so probably don't need them. > In the README, there is a message that I don't understand: > > ??Please keep these resources in sync with the authoritative stuff > at Forrest.?? The DTDs started life at Cocoon, then Forrest took over the maintenance. With the documentation situation that is mentioned above, we did need to keep these synchronised. > I'm proposing to add a build option to avoid copying all these > often-unnecessary resources. > > WDYT? Perhaps better to remove the stuff that we don't need. I would suggest to leave the ISO*.pen entity sets which are often needed by applications. The entities/w3c/svg*.dtd might be needed, i don't know. The entities/web-app_2_3.dtd might be needed. The entities/catalog-demo/ is needed by some of the core samples. -David
