Is this just how you say it, or is there some recommendation from the originators? I've always said: ex-al-lan.

Actually "zay-laan" is a better description
A few people from ASF( Apache Software Foundation) whom I have interacted with here in RTP pronounce it as "zay-laan". A lot of Java developers at RTPJUG use the same pronounciation.
Ofcourse, there is no contetion about how you say cocoon - right?

Cocoon is fine, that's a "real" word found in any reasonable dictionary, and in most back yards!
