Avalon Utilities

Welcome to the Avalon Utilities Home Page.

Within Avalon there are a number of emerging container facilities and tools. The facilties provide the famework for the delivery of open and adaptive solutions to container construction and component mangement. In the development of these facilities, a number of common low-level utilities have evolved and are collected here. Typically these utilities are either a single class, or a very small number of classes dealing with a specific concern. The following table provides a brief overview of the current set.
