I was just curious what exact features in Forrest made you choose it. I'm certainly biased as I think JSL (the tool used in Maven) and I have never been a big fan of Cocoon. I just wanted to know what features are present in Forrest that you think will lend toward a more coherent site? > Dion is still working on the project file for James, I believe.

With Plexus, the container Bob McWhirter and I wrote, I assemble an entire runtime from the configuration file for the application and then run tests for Tambora against two separate runtimes. It certainly is possible as I do it with Plexus everyday, so there's no reason why you couldn't do it with Phoenix. You could probably rip off the plexus plugin in Maven and make it work with Phoenix. > --- Noel > > -----Original Message----- > From: Jason van Zyl [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Sunday, January 26, 2003 16:04 > To: James Developers List > Subject: RE: http://james.apache.org > > > On Fri, 2003-01-24 at 22:37, Noel J.
