Hi Robby, I perfectly agree with you!!! even if I'm conservative I recently started having the feeling of a subset of functional APIs that really simplify the objects creation/setup. Pipeline for example, even if has a very simple and intuitive APIs, sometimes are subject to users misinterpretation, with the new builder users are forced to follow the right workflow.
Yet another good example of functional Java is LamdaJ (http://code.google.com/p/lambdaj/) that looks very similar to your stuff; that should put an emphasis on java users need of functional APIs. Back to Cocoon: unfortunately I don't know C2.X, since I began directly with C3... but I agree with Jos, you can safely choose for C3 :P Thanks for the feedback and have a nice day!
