+The scope of this package is to define an API in line with the current Java(tm)
+Platform APIs to support an alternative invocation mechanism which could be
+used instead of the above mentioned public static void main(String[]) method.
+This specification cover the behavior and life cycle of what we define as
+Java(tm) daemons, or, in other words, non interactive Java(tm) applications.
+
+commons-daemon requires apache-ant at build-time; apache-ant is also
+available from SlackBuilds.org.
