I don't think it's a good idea to run Cocoon 2.2 using
"mvn jetty6:run". Basically if you use Maven 2 you have no other
choice than running a beta version of Jetty.
I made some tests (outside the scope of Cocoon), and
encountered problems with Jetty 6 Beta, which appears to be
shaky. If you feel confident, then at least be sure to use
version >= 6.0.0beta17.
But the point is: it's not up to the build system to decide what
servlet container needs to be used at runtime. Do you remember
Sylvain [1]talking about Ant+Ivy one and a half year ago? He was
right: Ivy *just* downloads artifacts in a local repository, and
that solves 99% of Maven 2 problems. Ivy does little, but it does
it well. In our current project we [2]switched from Maven 2 to
Ant+Ivy recently, and life is much better now. We trust the build
system again, and we are able to run any servlet container like
before.
The good news is that Ivy is compatible with Maven 2 directory
layout, and is able to read POMs. In short, it does not
require reorganizing the source tree all over again: it is very
unintrusive.
