If you follow that path, Maven will take care of downloading all (transitive) dependencies.However, there is also a Getting Started package that contains a simple Cocoon 2.2 based application that uses Apache Ant as build system.| Artifact | Description | Download | Verify |

Cocoon 2.2 was split up into smaller units called blocks. Everything that goes beyond what Cocoon provides in its core modules (Spring integration, sitemap and pipeline implementation) is provided as block. Blocks can be downloaded separately. In order to get an overview of what blocks are available, use the list of blocks.
Older versions of Cocoon are 2.1, 2.0 and 1.x. It is not recommended to start a new project based on one of them.
