current situation. In time, we hope to make the distinction between Commons
and Exclibur much less prominent.
+ Some of the components in excalibur have been moved into Jakarta Commons;
+ we keep them in excalibur cvs only for backwards compatibility.

+ Relation with Apache Commons
+ ----------------------------
+
+ Users are also encouraged to take a look at the Apache Commons project
+ (http://commons.apache.org/), a new project @ apache dedicated to reusable
+ components. The relationships between Avalon Excalibur, Jakarta Commons
+ and the new Apache Commons are only currently being defined.
+
+ It is likely that there will be a lot of synergy between Avalon Excalibur
+ and Apache Commons. Some of the code currently in the excalibur CVS might
+ move to Apache Commons if it makes sense to do so.
+
+ This is not something to worry about; the code will not change and the
+ developers will be the same guys 'n gals :D
+
+ Relation with Jakarta Turbine
+ -----------------------------
+
+ Users are also encouraged to look at the subproject of Jakarta Turbine
+ called Fulcrum (http://jakarta.apache.org/turbine/fulcrum/), which contains
+ various services related to web development. Work is underway to make fulcrum
+ and the services it offers completely avalon-compatbile.
