Hello All,
as an semi-amateur web application developer I have to say that moving
on to 2.2 has been too big step for me. Not familiar with the Maven and
even figuring out of the examples has caused me pain to understand
what's going on. I started Cocoon with 2.1.x war with Tomcat, so this
2.2 world seems so different.
While reading this list, I 've been noticing that also some other users
are little "out and cold" on how to start with the new Cocoon. I believe
it's a magnificent piece of software, no doubt about that. But too often
the conversations in this list are jargon for me. I sometimes have
wondered if I am at the first place even reading users list but a
developer's list.
So I would appreciate a lot if someone could wrote "a stepping stone"
page to those who aren't familiar with the framework which 2.2 uses, but
who know something about 2.1. Or does it already exist?
Thanks,
- mika -

Hello Reinhard!
Thank you for that statement!!
Wouldn't ist be usefull to include cocoon-samples, too? I imagine, that maybe
this is in conflict with needed tools (maven, jetty, plugins,..) to run the
samples... I am not sure, but maybe they could be served as binary as well
(e.g. a samples block)!?
For me there is no problem using the trunk version as reference, but since my
start with cocoon 2.2 (in the last year) I was looking forward to enjoy less
'gaps' in learning and using cocoon.
Best regards,
Patrick

Patrick,
Why is there a binary download available, if (hopefully most) users
build their apps with maven and
dependencies are obtained automatically?
I guess it's a comfort for those not able to use Maven for some reason.
I think of it as a transitional thing.
There are two reasons: Not everybody wants to use
Maven/Ivy/MavenAntTasks. Since we got several complaints, we've started
to provide traditional release artifacts.
And second, the release artifacts also contain the related documentation
and Javadocs.
