Now, in the generated folder, two archives will have been created, and there are also subfolders with the same names as the archives that you can go into and run. You can start the server like this:

### ...add an OSGi bundle
The easiest way to add an OSGi bundle, is to drag it onto the "Local Repository" entry in the "Repositories" view, or to use the "Add files to repository" toolbar icon. Bndtools will analyze the files you try to add and show their metadata if they're indeed valid bundles.
-The bundles will end up in the local repository inside the `cnf` project.

### ...add a Java library
If you want to add a library that does not contain any OSGi metadata, you can follow the steps below to add it to the "Library Repository" so it can be used in all other projects within Apache ACE. If your library does have sensible OSGi metadata, please follow the "...add an OSGi bundle" instructions above.
1. Copy the library to the right location.
- The jar file for the library should be copied to the following location: `cnf/lib/foo/foo-1.0.0.jar`
-1. Update the repository.xml.
- After making changes to anything in cnf/lib/ you need to update the index file that describes the contents of the repository. To do this enter the following commands:
-
- $ cd cnf
- $ ant
- $ java -cp bin org.apache.ace.bnd.LibraryIndexer
+ The jar file for the library should be copied to the following location: <tt>cnf/lib/foo/foo-1.0.0.jar</tt>. Note that the directory name should be equal to the basename of the added JAR file, that is, everything *before* the version-string of the JAR.
+2. Update the `repository.xml`.
+ After making changes to anything in <tt>cnf/lib/</tt> you need to update the index file that describes the contents of the repository. To do this enter the following commands:
