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. ACE started incubation on April 24th 2009.
There are currently no issues requiring board or Incubator PMC attention.

Software
- Migrating from an Ant based build to Maven. Current trunk holds both builds.
Currently its about aligning the Maven output with their Ant originals. After that, the ant project will be moved out/removed. (Overview: ACE-62) - CI build is going to be moved to the Hudson grid. (see ACE-71). Awaiting account creation in INFRA-2419.
- Agreed on new terminology for some of the core concepts in ACE after Carsten started a broad discussion about them.
Licensing and other issues
- None at the moment.
Things to resolve prior to graduation
- Make a release
