Cocoon is a framework for delivering web sites and applications that are based around XML technologies. In addition to being able to do XML and XSL transformations, it provides it's own page logic templating system called XSP which is basically analogous to ASP, JSP, PHP, CFM etc. Of course this is XML based as well.

For me it's because it really can help you develop applications that have content, layout and logic truly separated. ASP, JSP etc are all OK but for any one (like me) who has had to develop and support multi-lingual, branded, customisable and highly dynamic sites, they just do not cut the mustard. On top of that it is free, supported by proven open source development principles and augments other frameworks and platforms such as EJB.

Go to http://www.apache.org/cocoon/ and download it from there. The latest distribution for any operating system can be found in the
Cocoon distribution folder. The distribution that you can download from there contains the Cocoon code, samples, documentation and the Java libraries that enable the Cocoon to work such as Xerces and Xalan.
