List of Core Modules

The core functionality of Cocoon was divided into several parts for reuse (see the detailed list below), however, the documentation of Cocoon core has been kept at one place:

Name	Versions	Description
Core	2.2	The 'cocoon-core' module is some kind of wrapper, that keeps all dependencies together in order to make it easier to use Cocoon as web application framework. For now the complete documentation of all core modules can be found in Cocoon core.

Core modules in detail

Note: The way how Cocoon Core is divided into sub modules is considered experimental at the moment. So don't rely on it. If want to be on the safe side and use Maven 2, always use Cocoon core as dependency and rely on Maven's transitive dependencies mechanism.
