This is where to find the software developed by the Apache Cocoon Project.

The latest release of Apache Cocoon is 2.1.11. Most parts, especially the core can be considered as very stable. Some parts exist that must be considered as alpha, especially those blocks which are marked as such. Previous releases of Apache Cocoon 1 and 2 can be found in the archive at http://archive.apache.org/dist/cocoon/.

Important Notes:

• Download from your nearest mirror site (which also has useful instructions).
• Verify PGP/GPG Signatures.

NOTE: Starting with 2.1 we only release a source distribution. This issue was discussed on the developer list. Using this source distribution is really easy and avoids most of the common pitfalls of the binary distribution. See further explanation.

NOTE: Cocoon includes all the packages required to run out of the box (included Xerces, Xalan and FOP) so you don't need to download anything else to start.

NOTE: For earlier versions of Cocoon (which did have binary distributions). Due to the incompatibilities between JDK 1.3 and JDK 1.4, you have to choose between a binary version targeted for JDK 1.2/1.3 and a version specially targeted for JDK 1.4 ( Using a build targeted for one JVM on a different JVM may result in runtime errors). Now you see why a source release is easier for everyone.
