+Apache Avalon provides a complete platform for component programming including
+a core framework, utilities, tools, components and containers. By using key
+design patterns such as Inversion of Control (IoC) and Seperation of Concerns
+(SoC), Avalon achieves a number of advantages over traditional object oriented
+programming frameworks:
+
+ * No implementation lock
+ * Low coupling between components
+ * Component lifecycle management
+ * Configuration management and easy to use API
+ * Component meta-data framework and tools
+ * Service dependecy management
+ * Embeddable containers for standalone, J2EE and web environments
+
+The Avalon Framework API and Implementation consists of interfaces that define
+relationships between commonly used application components, best-of-practice
+pattern enforcements, and several lightweight convenience implementations of
+the generic components.
