On http://www.s-und-n.de/sunshine/ccos/de/produkte/english/sunbow
you'll find old versions of sunBow. They include extensions to
trace the Cocoon sitemap processing for 2.1(.4) (it's a jar file
you have to put in the WEB-INF/lib dir of Cocoon).

The attatchments of the Bugzilla entry
(see https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=109367)
include a client for Eclipse 3.1 and a Cocoon extension
for 2.1.8dev (latest SVN). In Cocoon 2.2dev (trunk)
the debugging-support is built-in in the profiler-block
(you have to enable it in the corresponding .xconf).
he provided Eclipse Plugin provides some help on how to
install and use the stuff.

Cocoon 2.0.4 is not supported. The debugger-extensions for
Cocoon 2.1.x are more or less 'hacks' of the TreeProcessor,
as it does not provide a interface to plug a debugger in.
Cocoon 2.2dev indeed provides such an interface an so
it is much easier to develop and maintain a debugger.

As mentionded on http://wiki.apache.org/cocoon/LepidoSitemapDebugger
it needs to be discussed if this interface can be backported, or
how Cocoon in general should support debugging stuff.

(Please don't reply to all the lists I've posted the announcement to,
they should only go to the Lepido lists :-))
