oh ;) Theres james and cocoon at apache. Cocoon2 has seen a bit of real world usage. I have built a few products based on Avalon for organisations or buisnesses. One was an ant-like cron tool for a buisness, there has been a few education orientated servlets developed (testing/reporting/monitoring etc), a simple portal engine, CORBA management app (no idea what this does;]), a newsserver etc. For non-buisness (aka done for fun) orientated apps that I know about are; a java desktop environment (like a window manager for java), a ftpserver, geometry manipulation packages (k-d splitter/compiler, vis compiler etc), texture manipulation packages, shader compilers, OpenNS protocol compiler (like ASN compiler but for a XML based format), part of an Geometry visualisation package, most of a game server (similar to quake2), package management system, part of dns record management system, part of an authentication server, part of distributed directory system, part of distributed file system. RSN there will also be fully converted simulation system using Avalon/Framework for VR style systems. Though some of the above are used in production systems (ie geometry/content tools) so they may not count as "fun" projects ;) These are the ones I directly know about or have implemented myself however there have been a lot of groups who have asked me about whether or not to use it - I have always had to say no - not until a beta release (which happens tomorrow - yea). So depending on where they are along in development there could be a few large scale projects switching to it - too early to tell.
