Introduction
It is web based desktop sharing application.
Components: guacamole-client(war), gucamole-server(guad installable in linux only)
1. guacamole-client is the superproject containing all Maven-based projects that
make Guacamole, an HTML5 web application that provides access to your desktop
using remote desktop protocols.
guacamole-client is used to build the subprojects that make up Guacamole, and
to provide a common central repository. Each project contained here is
completely independent of guacamole-client and can be built separately, though
the others may have to be built first. If all projects are built using
guacamole-client, Maven will take care of the proper build order.

2. The guacamole-server(c/c++) package is a set of software which forms the basis of the
Guacamole stack. It consists of guacd, libguac, and several protocol support
libraries.
guacd is the Guacamole proxy daemon used by the Guacamole web application and
framework. As JavaScript cannot handle binary protocols (like VNC and remote
desktop) efficiently, a new test-based protocol was developed which would
contain a common superset of the operations needed for efficient remote desktop
access, but would be easy for JavaScript programs to process. guacd is the
proxy which translates between arbitrary protocols and the Guacamole protocol.
