To try that I just went to the ACE downloads page which has a bunch of jars and source jars to download, i downloaded the source of the first one, org.apache.ace.client.automation-0.8.0-incubator-sources.jar, and looking inside there is the source to some Java classes but no build scripts or pom.xml file, so how would I go about building this?
