The excalibur content is fine in terms of a set of libraries for building component implementations (generally speaking). It is not so good when viewed as a set of components. There is work afoot to get a lot of this sorted ut under the avalon-components initiative which will result in a clean set of well defined and documented components.
In the meantime - excalibur provides a set of utilities and cornerstone provides a set of curse grained components based largely on excalibur content. If your planning on using something in excalibur it is worth posting a quick question concerning the status of the particular package - some things are fine - some are not. Its this inconsistency that will be eliminated through the avalon-components initiative.

I would strongly recommend that noone use Fortress for any new development, as it is going into a kind of transitional termination, meaning we will continue to support bug fixes for a while, and then terminate the Fortress branch. The same goes for Excalibur and its Component Manager.
Hmmm. A post yesterday suggested that the Simple-Web-Server example would be a good one to learn from. I went through it and started making a prototype of a new server app i'm developing, using some of the ideas from that tutorial.
You say not to use Excalibur, but in the Simple-Web-Server's block.xml, I see:
<resource id="excalibur-pool:excalibur-pool" version="1.2"/> <resource id="excalibur-thread:excalibur-thread" version="1.1.1"/> <resource id="excalibur-event:excalibur-event" version="1.0.3"/>
I assume that means it is using Excalibur.
Does that mean this tutorial is not one we should use as an example?
Thanks,
Andy
