A brief description of Tinfi
----------------------------
Tinfi is a runtime kernel for the SCA component model. Tinfi provides an
infrastructure for running Java applications which comply with version 
1.0 of the SCA specifications. Tinfi performs compile-time code 
generation to host SCA-annotated component implementation classes in a 
SCA framework. The code which is being generated conforms with the 
principles of the Fractal component model. Tinfi is thus a Fractal 
personality for SCA. Tinfi extends Juliac which is a Fractal tool for 
generating the source code of Fractal components.
