Hello, I just wrote a simple component for that adds clojure nRepl support for OFBiz. This allows people to use clojure to interact with OFBiz and do all sorts of nice things.
It also opens a lot of possibilities for improving the developer experience. Please let me know what you think about this. It would be great to have it upstream (not in this form). I would love some help on how to properly develop a plugin. I have a lot of ideas on how to use clojure for more productivity and interactive development. You can see a demo of the plugin here https://youtu.be/XXxJDZRzu_E . You can see the plugin source code here: https://github.com/netdava/ofbiz-clojure-repl . I believe the OFBiz development experience can look like this: * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkJX9ciI5aM&t=1824s * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bs44qdAX5yo ## About ofbiz-clojure-repl plugin Uses [jvm-breakglass](https://github.com/matlux/jvm-breakglass) library to start an instance of nRepl inside Apache OFBiz. Once we have a Repl inside OFBiz we can connect to it from our favorite cloujure IDE and interact with it. Some things that can be done: * Interact with a running OFBiz instance from a shell like environment (Repl is better then the shell) * Prototype functionality and experiment with instant feedback - search for Repl driven development videos * Develop services for OFBiz in clojure and leverage all it's wonderfull properties * Use data visualization tools like [Proto-repl](https://github.com/jasongilman/proto-repl) to explore and do interactive Business Inteligence. * Desing reports using real data using something like [Gorilla-repl](http://gorilla-repl.org/) I've heard that Clojure was fun to write code with and I did not believe it until I tried it. Let's have fun developing on OFBiz, -- Eugen Stan +40720 898 747 / netdava.com
