<p>
The Avalon project is an effort to create, design, develop and
maintain
a common framework and set of components for applications written
- using the Java language. This framework is not a standalone product,
- but allows existing and yet to be created applications to fit
- into a common platform and to share code, design and human resources.
+ using the Java language.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Having said that, what Avalon 'is', is a framework that allows
components of varying
+ scale to be created, managed via a specific set of
+ <link href="framework/reference-the-lifecycle.html">lifecycle</link>
methods,
+ and used in an application. While Avalon is geared towards server-side
applications,
+ it is not limited to such, and is quite flexible.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The scope of usage for Avalon is quite broad. You may only want to
create custom, application
+ specific componets that can be managed in a well defined manner, or
you may want to use the many
+ components and services available with the
+ <link
href="http://jakarta.apache.org/avalon/excalibur/index.html";>Excalibur</link>
+ sub-project, or use complete applications, such as FTP or a web
server, in a server oriented
+ container such as Phoenix. What this means to you is that you can use
only what you need to use,
+ and you can scale your usage of Avalon as your application needs grow.
