It's a total reworking of the build process that can probably be expected 
to take days  or weeks, not months or years.  Since we originally talked 
the core build is working - it now completely avoids all samples out of the 
box (and figuring the samples out is not done yet).  As I remember your 
desire was to build a minimal build that you could add your sitemap and 
setup to, so you may have what you need already.  Do a current cvs checkout 
of 2.1dev, or get a very recent snapshot.

Any idea when this reworking will be done ? (days, weeks, months, or years ? 
:) 
Is it just a fixing/cleaning up of the build system or is he actually 
upgrading it to some new ideas (which? )

many thanks for the replies already btw. :)

Here's the skeleton of a document I'm writing about a
procedure that worked for me.  I tried to pass all of
this information via the build scripts, but all I got
back was the prompt (and no build).  I ran everything
by using the Ant that comes with the CVS download of
Cocoon.

Since I currently only have a Win/2000 machine to work
on, the notes have a Windows flavor.  Do the normal
DOS->UNIX translation to get the UNIX version.

If you want to reduce the size of Cocoon, you'll want
to avoid adding -Dinclude.scratchpad.libs=yes as well
as adding the optional libs I put in on steps 2 and 3.

My purpose in putting this together was to build a
sandbox that I could use to experiment with various
Cocoon ideas and prototype applications.

Hopefully I'll get this entire thing written up, as
well as the appropriate 2.04 documentation sometime
soon.

HTH

/mde/
just my two cents . . . .

Well, you may want to wait a little to see what Stefano comes up with in 
reworking the build process - it may make things easier.

Also, do a build -projecthelp to see if there is a built in target that 
does this out of the box.  I think there was at some point, but don't know 
if it's kept up with the most recent changes.

I haven't tried this in a while with 2.1dev, but the basic roadmap would be 
to edit properties.xml to comment out as many blocks as desired.  There are 
also some build properties to exclude things like javadocs, docs, and 
samples though you'll have to dig through build.xml to find them and 
experiment to see if they work as advertised.

I believe there will also be the following caveats:

1) Not everything is refactored into blocks yet, so you'll need to also 
remove unwanted stuff from lib/optional (remember to also edit jars.xml to 
remove references to anything you remove from optional).  It sounds like 
you did this part - can you be more specific about what went wrong?
2) There are some blocks that are still required (this should get fixed) so 
you will have to add them back in even if you don't need them.
3) There are some blocks that bundle in things you may want to get rid of. 
For example, if you need the database components you need to include the 
database block, but that also gets you the hsql component (although 
excluding samples may exclude it as well) which you probably don't 
want.  You'd then have to remove that by hand (by editing cocoon.xconf, and 
web.xml)
4) There will be other tricks along the way - this is an area that is still 
being worked out.

If you start working on this, report back specifics as you go and I or 
others can help move things along.

I've seen pages on the web on creating a minimal cocoon 2.0 setup
(only the neccecary jar files to run, a sitemap only specifying what the
app you're building needs, absolutely no cocoon samples etc. )
but haven't found one describing how to do this for the cvs development
version, cause I have to put this thing with jars and all under cvs I'd 
really like to know how tho :)
what especially interests me is what is the minimal list of jar files needed,
I've tried removing everything that's originally under /optional, but then
things go wrong quite a bit.

Also I wonder what's the best way to build cocoon with as little samples
and sample related files as possible ?

Any help 'd be greatly appreciated.

The sad part is that the "free" license only allows you to edit XML 
files that have an accompanying configuration file.  This configuration 
file is created by their other products XMLSpy or Stylesheet Designer.  
So it's really not usable unless you've bought into their products.

We've started using the XML Editor Oxygen which runs on Windows, Linux 
or MacOS X.   We're pretty happy with it.  We are looking at possibly 
rolling it out to our content developers.

Too bad is Windows only... No Linux or MacOS X versions :(

Thanks, but I'll stick to Emacs :)
