    The page you’re referring to is part of the old site (the new one is located at http://ace.apache.org), and refers to tooling you probably shouldn’t be using anymore: it has been used before there were other ways to interact with the repository, mainly for development purposes.

    Depending on your needs, you can use the repository in a number of ways,

    • If you need to programmatically read and write the repositories (remember that they’re only XML), use the HTTP API available for that.
    • You can do the same thing from code, see Repository and its implementations.
    • If you want to edit ‘meaningful’ ACE data (such as linking distributions and targets), use the Client REST API. This is probably the option you want.
