An Introduction to Apache Ace - Jago de Vreede & Marcel Offermans
1. Jago de Vreede
Marcel Offermans
Apache ACE is a software distribution framework
that allows you to centrally manage and distribute
software components, configuration data and
other artifacts to target systems. It is built using
OSGi and can be deployed in different topologies.
The target systems are usually also OSGi based,
but don't have to be.
