I'm trying to use them for Cocoon, but I'm having problems, as they are Alpha-2, and I'm working with the Maven developers to make them work well.

I'll take a look at what Ross has done and see if I have any idea. -- Nicola Ken Barozzi [EMAIL PROTECTED] - verba volant, scripta manent - (discussions get forgotten, just code remains) ---------------------------------------------------------------------
