---------------------------------------------------------------

An extremely old bug that just bit me. I found an e-mail exchange related to 
this bug report here:

but unfortunately no solution yet.

>    Affects Versions: 0.7

> Forrest (Head, revision 125624) seems to assume there's an index.xml file in 
> the xdoc root directory.  Without this file, Forrest throws a nasty Java 
> exception shown below; however, the site seems to render correctly.  
> Additionally, in brokenlinks, there's this message that I cannot find a 
> reference for: "cocoon://index.html". 
> To reproduce this error, seed a fresh project, rename index.xml, and then 
> update site.xml & tab.xml and all other references to index.html accordingly.
> An easy workaround is to include a dummy index.xml file, which stops the 
> exception.  But, I'm not sure if there's some undiscovered side-effect.  For 
> additional information, please see User thread "Forrest crashes without an 
> xdoc/index.xml file"
