<div class="section-content">
<p>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. This is the
initial codebase and documentation which was originally developed at luminis.</p>
<p>The source code and documentation are made available via Jira as issue
<a href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACE-17">ACE-17</a>.</p>
