Hi Reinhard. Thanks for preparing all of these.

You probably have missed that due to fact that first line is completely unreadable. Instead of mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:1.0-alpha-7 it should be: mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:1.0-alpha-7:create Then all of them work. I've tested cocoon-archetype-sample more carefully and despite that some samples do not wok the overall picture is ok. As I was already playing with Cocoon3 I decided to have a closer look at source code of it. There are many nice things about it (probably the most important one is that this code is much cleaner than what we have in c2.2). Nevertheless, what I found surprising is that you decided to rewrite EL and OM handling from scratch once again. Was there any specific reason for doing that apart from "let's throw out the whole c.2.2's core"? I don't recall any discussion about that particular decision. You know my opinion about this. The second problem I can see with this release is that I fail to see where this project is heading to and what are its goals and aims. I would feel rather strange voting for a release of something that I don't fully identify with. To sum up my situation: +1 from technical point (provided you fix tags) +0 from my own personal point of view I would really like to know how to convert 0 into 1. Anyway, thanks for your work. -- Best regards, Grzegorz Kossakowski
