What Happened to Excalibur-X?
-----------------------------
Avalon Excalibur is in the process of making sure that all of the 
uilities and code directly relate to Avalon.  That means that generic 
code is being moved out of Avalon's control.  Excalibur will be hit 
hardest by this restructuring.  To make things easier on our users, we 
are providing a compatibility JAR that has all the projects that we will 
no longer be supporting.  The classes or packages that are deprecated 
signify the projects that already have a replacement.  If you would like 
to volunteer to maintain the remaining code in the compatibility JAR, 
please contact the Avalon Developer's list.  The only exception to this 
rule is Excalibur Testlet, which has been made part of Excalibur Component.

The list of currently provided components follows.  All of these should
work with each other without problems.
