Hi again,
I was able to download the binary distribution from here:
http://ace.apache.org/downloads.html
but I was not able to find the deployment agent bundle. where it is ?
The target.jar was not recognized as a osgi bundle...
one doubt, suppose that I have some *.dp archives (as defined by the
spec) in a local directory. it is possible to start up the container
with the deployment agent installed and started and pass that location
as system/app argument at command line?
regards,
Cristiano

I read somewhere that Apache Ace follows the OSGi Deployment Admin spec,
so we decided to try it.
That is correct.
We are using Equinox and p2 as its repository in our environment and
building our bundles with tycho and maven-bundle-plugin.
Ok.
So in order to have the deployment agent installed in our p2 we need to
have the required artifacts at least in a maven repository.
The agent consists of only a single bundle.
But in the maven central the latest apache ace artifacts is in version
0.8.1 and was delivered in 2011 !
Yes. During that time we were still using Maven to build ACE, but we have since
moved on to using Bndtools and an Ant based build that is automatically
generated by Bndtools. That means we have also changed the way we do releases.
Our source and binary convenience releases are stored in the official Apache
release repository. We are not doing any convenience releases at the moment
towards any other repositories.
Is Apache ace not being delivered to maven central anymore ? why?
We have been considering this, generating the Maven metadata from our build and
using that to publish those artifacts but that process is not done yet. If you
want to help us with it, please do.
For now my advice would be to manually upload the single bundle with the agent
to your own Maven repository and use that in your builds.
Greetings, Marcel
