From Wikipedia:

SmartFrog is an open-source software framework, written in Java, that manages the configuration, deployment and coordination of a software system broken into components. These components may be distributed across several network hosts. The configuration of components is described using a domain-specific language, whose syntax resembles that of Java. It is a prototype-based object-oriented language, and may thus be compared to Self. The framework is used internally in a variety of HP products. Also, it is being used by HP Labs partners like CERN.
