Yeah, I need to play around with Spring for a course I give about J2EE.
I may try to use cocoon as an example.

Meaning before we can think on updating to current cocoon trunk we need
a cli replacement.

I opened up an Apache Labs for writing a small crawler that can serve as
CLI replacement. On my local hard drive I have a version that is half
finished, will check this into 
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/labs/droids/
pretty soon.

All Apache committer have write access there so fell all free to enhance
the upcoming code.

Cool bannanas. When I get the time I'll replace my really crude crawler 
in Forrest 2 with Droids.

I have finished a first version of droids and checked it in. 

Please see http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/labs/droids/README.TXT to get
started.

Please test and report feedback to labs@labs.apache.org. I will happily
answer all mails there.
