Thanks for the "heads up" on Cocoon development;
maybe I should paste this to a Wiki page.
In many case, I am developing lots of smaller apps
and tend to want to build Cocoon *once* (when a
new stable version arrives) and add all these aps
to it... do you not end up with lots and lots of
different "Cocoon projects", and lots of Cocoon
instances on the server, in the way you do it?
Thanks

It depends on how you organize your dev environment. When I start a new
Cocoon-based project, I usually:
- compile the latest version incuding just the blocks I need
- edit the build/webapp/sitemap.xmap file removing everything but the
<map:components> section
- copy the WEB-INF directory and the sitemap to my project
- import new CVS module in my own repository
- start adding functionality
This way, if I want to later add other blocks or upgrade to a newer
version, all I have to do is overwrite files in WEB-INF and never touch
my application files.
In other words, I don't do applications by extending Cocoon, but I add
Cocoon to my apps, so to say.
And I never use Tomcat in development. I use Jetty and if I need to ad
a
new JAR I just restart it. Jetty's startup is very fast, compared to
Tomcat.

Maybe when we have real blocks.

Properly acquiring and releasing session, for instance.
