  What is it?
  -----------

  It is a set of classes and patterns that support high level server development.

  Where is it?
  ------------

  http://java.apache.org/framework

  Requirements
  ------------

  -JDK1.2 or above
  -To build form CVS you must set JAVA_HOME to the jdk dir (eg:/usr/bin/jdk1.2 or 
   c:\jdk1.3)
   
  Distribution
  ------------
  Distribution contains the following:
  -xerces.jar               Any SAX2 parser will work. By default xerces is used.
  -avalon-engine.jar        The avalon kernel
  -avalon-demo.sar          Sample server application provided with the kernel
  -avalon-loader.jar        Avalon loader

  Installation Instructions and Documentation
  -------------------------------------------

  Avalon is a framework that loads and runs servers. Without a server 
  plugged into it, it doesn't do anything. To run it just execute run.bat 
  or run.sh in the distribution bin folder. See docs/ subdirectory for further
  documentation.

  Acknowledgements
  ----------------

  As well as code from various Apache projects this projects also 
  contains code (bytecode manipulation) from the Kawa project at 
  http://www.gnu.org/software/kawa/

  Thanks for using Avalon.

  or run.sh in the distribution bin folder.
  At startup avalon will extract the configuration template from all .bar files 
  and deploy them into the conf folder (/conf). At this point you can edit the 
  file and modify or fill defaults. 
  To plug a new server in Avalon you just need to deploy the .bar file into 
  /bin/block folder and restart avalon. 
  To change parser or configuration file run "run.[sh|bat] -help" and follow 
  instructions.

  plugged into it, it doesn't do anything. To run it just place Avalon.jar 
  and the SAX Parser in the classpath . Edit the configuration file 
  (default is avalon.conf.xml) and fill in the values. Configuration names 
  should be self explaining and you'll find documentation in the comments. 
  To plug a new server in Avalon you need to merge manually (sigh!) the 
  configuration file of the server you want to plug in into avalon 
  configuraton file. Sorry for this cut and paste stuff... some smart 
  pattern and tool will be avaiable as soon as possible. Then run the script
  "run.[sh|bat]". It will load and run default Avalon kernel and all blocks 
  as specified in configuration files. To change default Parser or 
  configuration file run "run.[sh|bat] -help" and follow instructions.
