I don't want to scare you but I wonder if that will be ever possible
with Maven. To be honest, I have not used Maven often enough to be able
to criticize it in a qualified way. But that's my impression so far.
I have been looking into Cocoon 2.2 and I am getting ready to build
another HelloWorld from zero using Cocoon 2.2. However, I find very few
jars there. Is this again one of maven's trick to make things easier?
Does it download a different set of jars that are only for this
template?
Yes, that's how Maven works. You only declare dependencies in your POM
and Maven does the rest for you.
Can I use these jars in another way, like importing them
directly into my app?
Yes, of course. Maven is about dependency management in the first place.
It downloads the jars into a repository, you can grab them from there.
As answer to the blog Grek linked [1] I already gave my concerns
regarding Maven [2].
