If you checkout the sources, you will see the project =
org.apache.ace.managementagent, that's the managementagent.
The devserver is the ace server itself, so that's what you startup. You =
can build it using the build/bin-build.xml. Simply unzip the archieve =
that is created by this build, and start the run.sh script. You can then =
access the web UI on http://[machinename]:8080/ace/.
You are right that there is work to be done on the docs...=20
