I've started with a prototyp of a non-Maven Cocoon 2.2 archetype. It should be
useful to people that want to avoid Maven 2 as build system for their Cocoon
based projects. The mail below that I sent to the users lists explains in more
detail how this prototyp is supposed to work.
Feedback would be much appreciated.

I've started with a prototyp of a non-Maven Cocoon 2.2 archetype. You
can download it from
http://people.apache.org/~reinhard/cocoon-22-bootstrap.zip.
It contains a build.xml that has two targets:
- webapp
Build a web application
- run
Starts the webapp using Jetty
Some words to the directory structure:
[root]
+-src
| +-webapp The Cocoon web application
| +-block1 A Cocoon demo block
+-lib All required libraries and Cocoon blocks
+-jetty Minimum files to run a Jetty 6.1.3 instance
+-build.xml The Ant build script
The Ant build is only a starting point but it shows how things are
supposed to work together. It works well for me but it misses two
important things in order to be useful for others:
1) make it simple to add just another _own_ block
(adding a third-party block only means copying the libs into ./lib)
2) create a properties file that configures all servlet services to use the
src/block1/src/main/resources/COB-INF files as block contexts
Having this feature allows working on the sources with support for
hot reload.
I think the build script shouldn't do much more because if people prefer
to use Ant, they have their own way of building/deploying their Java
applications anyway. Using this build script as template for that
purpose, should give them a enough ideas to integrate it into their own
build and deployment architectures.
