Subject: Getting-started package for Non-Maven users

I've created a 'getting-started' package for Non-Maven users: 
http://people.apache.org/~reinhard/cocoon-staging/getting-started/

It contains a Cocoon application that consists of two parts: a simple block and 
a web application that uses this block. Additionally there is an Ant based build 
system that builds all the stuff. See the README.txt how you can use it.

The build systems is far from being as comfortable as the Maven 2 based system 
(enhanced by our Maven 2 plugin) but it should give somebody, who wants to 
integrate Cocoon 2.2 into his own web projects, enough ideas how it could be done.

Since I use Maven 2 in all of my projects, I won't invest more into this but if 
somebody wants to enhance this build system (or even port the Cocoon Maven 
plugin to Ant), I would be glad to help.

If time permits I will write a tutorial that uses this getting-started package 
and explains the stuff in more detail than the README file.

Any thoughts?
