(1) To the first point: I believe it to be an extremly bad idea not to provide an binary distribution, by many reasons, the following might be the most important:
-- a Cocoon newbie has enough to deal with; that he/she also has to compile the project is really daunting, believe me! I often hold XML courses and also try to introduce Cocoon ...
-- Compilation takes a lot of time; I detected between 5 and 30 minutes, depending on configuration and machine. Again: do we want to adress only experts? currently we do tax the patience of news users a lot before they can even start dealing with the main Cocoon issues...
-- If you want to create versions e.g. for production use, you have to invest a lot of time to understand which blocks might be excluded; recompilation needs a lot of time and so on... an enerving task!!
so:
(2) I believe, at least 2 or 3 binary distributions have to be available for download.
However, if by some reasons, I might not understand (yet), no binary distribution is provided, then *at least* some example build.properties should be part of the download like
-- the one currently delivered -- properties, that make CLI working -- minimal setup -- production setup (without examples and documentation)
well, this is at least my opinion.
thank you
