You can find some of the information you are looking for here: http://wiki.apache.org/avalon/AvalonContainerFAQ Basically, Merlin is a bit more advanced and complex but is most actively developed. Fortress is simpler and based on the original designs of ECM. You can start with either container. The differences will be in how you "assemble" your application but not in how you program you components. By "assemble" I mean what you configuration files will look like, how to configure your meta data and how you package the application. But in terms of how you actually program the components, very little should differ. As long as your services/components are only dependent on the Avalon framework jar, then you shouldn't have too much trouble running the application under Fortress or Merlin. There are some exceptions to this case, but at this point in the game, you shouldn't worry about it too much. J.
