This package contains the Catalyst Application Framework as written for catalyst primarily for the LuceneServer project.
It consists of a logging mechinism, configuration file settings and startup commands. There are also classes to handle socket connections, StringPairs(like hashmaps) and miscellaneous utilities.
There is not a lot of documentation for these classes. It may [in the future) be wise to switch to standards such as Log4J (or JDK1.4 logging).
