Avalon Excalibur was created in order to ease development of
new projects. To that end, Excalibur contains a number of
ready to use components and utilities that handle everything
from command line parsing to thread concurrency management.
The components in the Excalibur package have been well tested
and do work reliably. There is an associated project called
"Scratchpad" that is a staging area for new Components. When
they have been sufficiently tested, we will include them in
Excalibur.
The scratchpad code is provided for your benefit so that we
can get feedback on whether the package is needed or wanted,
and we can get error reports on it. The components in
Scratchpad are of varying quality or stability, depending on
where they are in the development cycle. They are NOT
meant for production use. You have been warned.
