The framework collection includes a component meta model
used to describe component dependencies towards a container, and,
the classic framework APIs that describe the runtime contact
between a container and a component.
A container is a platform supporting the management of
components. This page provides an overview of current and
legacy container solutions and links to respective home pages.
The components page provides a summary of the two main
component groups in Avalon - the course grained cornerstone
suite and the fine grain utilites under Excalibur.
