move/retire a couple of ACE sub-projects
Hi,
I’ve picked up some work on ACE recently, and see a couple of sub-projects
that are not directly part of the “core” of ACE but augment its functionality
in certain ways for specific use cases. These sub-projects are:
- org.apache.ace.ant.tasks ::
this project provides an Ant task for creating a deployment package from
Ant; I’m not sure it works out of the box as it relies on another bundle
that is not embedded;
- org.apache.ace.location.upnp ::
this project provides a UPnP compatible location service; not sure it
works out of the box;
- org.apache.ace.log.server.store.mongo ::
this is part of the `org.apache.ace.log` project and provides you a way
of storing ACE logs in MongoDB. Not sure if we want to support this form
of log storage out of the box;
- org.apache.ace.nodelauncher ::
this project could be used to automatically deploy distributions to (new)
targets in AWS. Not sure if it still works with AWS;
- org.apache.ace.processlauncher ::
provides the ability to spawn new processes on targets by means of
supplying configurations.
Unless somebody has compelling arguments to keep one or more of these project
in the “core” of ACE, I’d like to move the code of these projects to a sandbox
to reduce the clutter in our source repository.
WDYT?

Hi Jan Willem,
I have done work on the org.apache.ace.log.server.store.mongo and org.apache.ace.nodelauncher in the past. I think both are no longer relevant.
The mongo log storage was an idea to use ACE as a central log store for application logs. That didn't work out very well, and I would be surprised if the component is still used somewhere. +1 for removing it.
The nodelauncher was created with the idea to make ACE also a cloud cluster manager. This idea was never implemented beyond the trivial use case of starting single servers, and I think we've moved away from the whole idea a long time ago. So another +1 to remove this component.
Cheers,
Paul

I’ve moved the aforementioned projects to my `ace-extra` sandbox (see [1]). This
actually is a valid Bnd(tools) workspace, so you can check it out from Subversion
and use it directly as workspace.

I’ve heard nobody frantically replying that there is a real need for the mentioned
projects to be part of “core” ACE. I will therefore proceed tomorrow with moving them
to a separate location, probably my own sandbox on Subversion.
