Ice-e ('embedded ice') is a compact communications engine designed specifically for use in environments where resources are scarce, such as internet-enabled smart phones, personal digital assistants (pdas), and embedded controllers.

ice-e is the embedded version of ice, made by zeroc inc. it is built on concepts which will be familiar to corba programmers, and supports a wide variety of programming languages and runtime platforms.

this package contains a jar library required to run/develop applications with ice-e for java. you will find further information in the zeroc home page (http://www.zeroc.com/icee/) and in the non-free package zeroc-ice-manual.
