--------------------------------------

An extremely old bug that just bit me. I found an e-mail exchange about this very issue here:

> Components: Core operations
> Affects Versions: 0.7

> Forrest (Head, revision 125624) seems to assume there's an index.xml file in the xdoc root directory. Without this file, Forrest throws a nasty Java exception shown below; however, the site seems to render correctly. Additionally, in brokenlinks, there's this message that I cannot find a reference for: "cocoon://index.html".
> To reproduce this error, seed a fresh project, rename index.xml, and then update site.xml & tab.xml and all other references to index.html accordingly.
> An easy workaround is to include a dummy index.xml file, which stops the exception. But, I'm not sure if there's some undiscovered side-effect. For additional information, please see User thread "Forrest crashes without an xdoc/index.xml file"
