Cocoon runs on top of the avalon framework, actually, so it seems that you
are missing those core libraries in your project, as well as the Cocoon
libraries, oddly.
I'm imagining that you grabbed the binary distro of cocoon 2.0.4. There
should be a lib directory, or lib/core within the base Cocoon distribution
folder. Within that folder, you should see cocoon.jar,
avalon-framework-20020627.jar (or something similar), amongst others.
Import those JARs into your project, and it should compile.
