This guide shows the core functionality of ACE, organizing bundles and other
artifacts into logical features and distributions and associating those with
specific targets, all done using a convenient web interface.
-## Download and startup
+## Download the distribution
To start using ACE, you must first launch a server. If you're a developer, you
can do that inside Eclipse, as explained [here](/dev-doc/getting-started.html).
Otherwise, you need to download a distribution of the server, unpack it, and
start it up:

The following steps can be followed to get started:
-1. Now the server is started, let's connect to it. Launch a browser and point
it to: http://localhost:8080/ace/ You should now be greeted with a login
prompt. Log in with user "d" password "f" and you should see a view with 4
empty columns and some buttons at the top of the screen.
-1. Click on 'Retrieve' to get the initial version of the repository. It will
look as if nothing's happened, but you have now in fact retrieved the first,
empty version of the repository and can start manipulating it. Once you're
happy with it, you can commit it back (which we'll do a bit later).
+1. Launch a browser and point it to: http://localhost:8080/ace/ You should now

should see a view with 4 empty columns and some buttons at the top of the
screen.
+1. Click on 'Retrieve' to get the initial version of the repository. The
column on the right will show you have a target running with name
`defaultTargetID`. The other columns remain empty as this is an initial empty
version of the repository.
1. Upload some sample bundles into the artifacts column by first clicking the
'Add Artifact...' button. In the dialog that appears, you can upload a bundle
using the 'Upload' button in the middle of the window. You can perform this
step multiple times if you want to upload more than one bundle. Finally, hit
the 'Add' button to add all uploaded artifacts to ACE.
1. Create a feature by clicking on the 'Add Feature...' button. Features are
the first level of logical grouping for artifacts.
1. Create a distribution by clicking on the 'Add Distribution...' button.
Distributions are another level of logical grouping: you group features into
distributions.
1. Drag an artifact onto a feature to create an association between the two.
By repeating this process you can associate all relevant artifacts to features.
1. Drag a feature onto a distribution and again repeat this process until
you've associated all your features with their relevant distributions.
-1. Now we need a target to actually deploy our artifacts to. To start a
target, go to `ace-launcher/target` and start it using `java -jar
org.apache.ace.launcher*.jar`.
-1. After a few seconds, the target should show up in the Web UI. To associate
it with a distribution, drag that distribution onto the target.
+1. Drag the distribution onto the target to associate it.
1. Click on 'Store' to actually store changes on the server, which should
trigger the actual deployment of the artifacts to the target.
