Currently the deployer extracts the files from COB-INF and META-INF into the file system (into the web application). We talked about skipping this step and adding a mechanism to the core of Cocoon which allows to access the information from within the jar without extracting it. This should be doable by using the class loader and some detection mechanism and avoids the deployer plugin. And more important it means that adding a block is just dropping a jar file into the WEB-INF/lib directory which makes using Cocoon even easier - especially if you don't want to use Maven (I can't imagine that someone does not want to use maven but anyway...).
