ACE - a software distribution framework based on OSGi that allows you to manage and distribute artifacts, like e.g. software components.
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.
