-Apache Pivot is a platform for building rich internet applications in Java. It combines the enhanced productivity and usability features of a modern RIA toolkit with the robustness of the industry-standard Java platform.
-Like most modern development platforms, Pivot provides a comprehensive set of foundation classes that together comprise a "framework". These classes form the building blocks upon which more complex and sophisticated applications can be built. Pivot classes are grouped into the following categories and distributed in their associated libraries:

+in their associated libraries:
-* Web (pivot-web.jar, pivot-web.server.jar) - Classes to facilitate communication with and implementation of remote data services.
-* Charting (pivot-charts.jar) - Classes for adding interactive charting capabilities to Pivot applications.

+=================
-* Tools (pivot-tools.jar) - Development tools and utility applications.
