> Background
> ----------------
> James uses the Phoenix container and the Avalon Framework.
> Unfortunately, both are now dead projects. This is now starting to cause
> maintainability issues. Realistically, James will need to start maintaining a
> fork or accept that some features will not work correctly in this container.
> It is also hard to recruit developers willing to learn these obsolete
> technologies.
> Both Avalon and Phoenix take intrusive approaches to IoC. Avalon imposes
> coupling to a number of lifecycle interfaces. Phoenix requires a
> proliferation of finely grained internal interfaces.
> However, these components have many advantages. They are now well tested and
> debugged. Users of James (as opposed to developers) seem happy with them.
