Very much - thank you!
I wasn't aware of that bit of extra documentation - I had gone to the
page:
<http://jakarta.apache.org/avalon/framework/index.html>
which has an explanation on "What is a Component?" and "Designing a
Component" but these texts aren't anywhere near as detailed as the one
you mentioned. It might be good to have a link to the "Developing with
Apache Avalon" guide from that page.
Okay... off to make the changes. :-)
