- Excalibur is blah blah
+ Avalon Excalibur was created in order to ease development of
+ new projects. To that end, Excalibur contains a number of
+ ready to use components and utilities that handle everything
+ from command line parsing to thread concurrency management.
</p>
+ <p>
+ The components in the Excalibur package have been well tested
+ and do work reliably. There is an associated project called
+ "Scratchpad" that is a staging area for new Components. When
+ they have been sufficiently tested, we will include them in
+ Excalibur.
+ </p>
+ <warn>
+ The scratchpad code is provided for your benefit so that we
+ can get feedback on whether the package is needed or wanted,
+ and we can get error reports on it. The components in
+ Scratchpad are of varying quality or stability, depending on
+ where they are in the development cycle. They are <strong>NOT</strong>
+ meant for production use. You have been warned.

Added new InformixDataSource that uses the Informix JDBC 2.2 driver
