Hello.
I've been digging in the Jakarta commons cvs and it occurred to me that the new avalon-component cvs module is essentially an Avalon Commons. It might make sense to explain it this way on the web site in order to help users makes sense of the cvs repositories. Additionally it could be added to the list of "Related Components @Apache" on the Jakarta Commons web site: http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/index.html
Second point is that you can find all sorts of odd things in Jakarta Commons (especially the sandbox cvs). Does anyone know about HiveMind? Apparently it's being actively developed and it sounds a lot like Avalon:
[from http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/jakarta-commons-sandbox/hivemind/xdocs/ind ex.xml ]
In summary, HiveMind is a tightly written, highly dynamic microkernel based on proven open-source technologies. It is a superior way to architect an application, one that supports very aggresive refactoring. ... HiveMind combines together a number of modules to form a registry of services and configurations. Each module consists of: Service extension points Service contributions Configuration extension points Configuration contributions
I haven't looked at the code much, but the docs make it sound a lot like Avalon.
Hmm. They do...
