<pre>Apache Cocoon 2.2-RC2 Released
------------------------------
The Apache Cocoon Community is proud to announce the second release
candidate of Cocoon 2.2.
Apache Cocoon is a Spring-based framework built around the concepts
of separation of concerns and component-based development.
Cocoon implements these concepts around the notion of component pipelines,
each component on the pipeline specializing on a particular operation.
Cocoon 2.2 introduces blocks. A block is the unit of modularization
(in comparison: Eclipse uses the term plugins, OSGi bundles) in Cocoon.
Everything that goes beyond that what Cocoon provides in its core modules
(Spring integration, sitemap and pipeline implementation) is provided as
block (see below). Custom Cocoon applications are also developed as blocks.
A block can provide following features:
* general servlet services (any servlet can be managed by the Cocoon
servlet-service framework)
* special services tht provide pipelines as services
* component services (Spring beans, Avalon services/components)
* a container for classes and resources
A block is packaged as Java archive (jar) following certain conventions
concerning the directory structure.
For more information about Apache Cocoon 2.2, please go to
http://cocoon.apache.org or follow our getting started guide at
http://cocoon.apache.org/2.2/1159_1_1.html that shows how you can use the
Cocoon artifacts which are available from the central Maven repository
(http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/).
