Thanks for the response Wilfried. I had read that at some point there should be a way to switch out the OBR repo that is used by ACE, I didn't think that was possible as of this point, but it sounds like it is. You mean configuration files other than ones meant for the Configuration Admin? I heard of autoconf recently and have yet to get a chance to look into how it works yet. I think ACE being able to use the POM for constructing features would be a good idea, I think the Karaf features might be a ltttle better, but at this point, whatever is easier, is probably better to start with. I'm hoping to wrapping up some work for a presentation I have to do so I can delve into one of these things and see where I can help out. It would certainly be great to be able to simplify the process of getting things into ACE and setup.
Let me know if there is anything I can at some point. Thanks!
