Hi,
Sorry, I didn't mean to be rude or imply anything... It was just the
first thing that came to mind...
There are installation instructions in the distribution in a file called
INSTALL.txt. You can also see it here (for Cocoon 2.1.9):
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cocoon/tags/RELEASE_2_1_9/INSTALL.txt
Basically, just call "./build.sh" in the directory you unzipped the
distribution to, that's all you have to do. As a Mac user, you don't
have to install the JDK. The INSTALL.txt file has also some hints on how
to tweak your build which you would usually do with configure options
when using autotools.
Since Java is a sort-of semi-interpreted language, you don't actually
need a universal or native binary to run it. The compiled Java code is
basically already in a format _any_ platform can understand, including
Windows and Linux.
I hope that answers your questions.
Bye,
Max

It sounds to me like he's familiar with building things from source
using
the usual "./configure ; make ; make install", but isn't familiar
with java
and building things with Ant/Maven.
thank you!!!
