    History

    This document tracks the history of the Avalon project. Originally started with a realisation that java was a great platform for developing server products and a call to vote. There was a lot of work formalizing what exactly a server consists of and why this projevt was needed. Theses discussions led to the initial development of the Java Apache Server Framework.

    Overtime the Java Apache Server Framework project was renamed Avalon. This was in recognition that the original ideas have evolved over time. Avalon became a repository of general utility code, a design and testing ground for component based solutions, a micro kernel and generalized server orientated services. This combined with a move from the Java Apache project to the Jakarta project promted the revision. At this time the kernel code was repackaged under the name Phoenix, core services under the name Cornerstone and the general components was packaged under name Excalibur.
