Just so that everyone knows, the build area is ready now and is accessible from the ofbiz.apache.org home page. I will post another email out to everyone whenever everyone's had a chance to test out the results.


Cheers,
Tim

Scott and all,
Yes good idea, this could be a solution to this issue. Could it be an acceptable solution for everybody ? I think so since it's really needed for the POS on Windows. But I prefer to check before commiting. Actualy when doing that it will hide the need for plugin.jar which seems only needed for the case you use an electronic balance connected. Correct me please if I'm wrong.
Thanks

Glad I could help, try changing the <or> tag to an <and> and it should work
fine without the additional jar.

Thanks Scott,
You found the reason. On Windows I need to have the old comm.jar in the path (I use to put it in jre/lib/ext) be able to use my Epson TM- T88III
POSPrinter.
Hence the condition
 <available classname="javax.comm.SerialPort"
classpathref="local.class.path"/
is fullfilled and the compilation tried.

Hi Jacques

This section of the product build.xml specifically excludes
ShipmentScaleApplet from being built:
 <target name="classes" depends="prepare,classpath">
     
<condition property="noapplet" value="ShipmentScaleApplet.java">
         <not>
             <or>
                 <available classname="javax.comm.SerialPort"
classpathref="local.class.path"/>
<available classname="netscape.javascript.JSObject"
classpathref="local.class.path" property="jsobject.avail"/>
             </or>
         </not>
     </condition>

     <javac debug="on" source="1.5" deprecation="on"
destdir="${build.dir}/classes">
         <classpath>
             <path refid="local.class.path"/>
         </classpath>
         <src path="${src.dir}"/>
         <exclude name="${noapplet}"/>
     </javac>

So it's weird that your having problems with it.

Hi David, Tim,
First all, thanks Tim for the effort. This should benefit to the
community
at large.

I'm not kidding, this has been on the table already some times :
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-92
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-1345

When I get rid of plugin.jar on my machine with OS Windows XP Sp2
compiling
with Sun jdk1.5.0_11 (I have no problems on Ubuntu 6.06)

I get

I wonder now if it's not related to French OS implementations as it
seems
that the only ones who have never crossed this issue are Ludovic and me
(Ludovic was on Mac).
Anyway Tim, this is not an issue on your side if you are able to compile. Also I doubt any person trying OFBiz (on Windows) without checking out
will
ever try to use an electronic balance (this is the existing reason of
this
applet call :o). But this is weird isn'it ?

Thanks for your support guys !

Jacques

From: "David E Jones" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I don't know what Jacques is talking about for the plugin.jar file...
there shouldn't be anything operating system specific in OFBiz, and
aside
from the possibility of a few bits of bad code for processes paths with
the
wrong separator character, I'm not aware of any such  thing.

Ok, so I just found two different versions of plugin.jar - on three
different systems. The one on my mac had a much smaller size than
the one
on my test server (running Fedora) and the one of my  production
servers
(which were the same size).
I'm guessing that the one that Jacques is alluding to is probably a Windows version, so I'll need someone to send me the Windows version
if
this is what you Jacques is alluding to me providing in the download.
Thanks guys for the help.

Ok, I've got everything together and am ready to do this, but I do

finish this setup.

Hi Tim,
Thank you for the proposition. Yes this would be great. As we will not check tests it can be automated without worries. Keeping some
revisions
aroud could be helpful in certain cases,  good idea.
I forgot something to put at least in the trunk README file: a
warning explaining that it's not thoroughly tested...

So to resume the process :
1. Svn export
2. Add plugin.jar in framewrok/base/lib
3. Ant run-install
4. Update README file with the revision number (optional ?)
5. Zip (or tar.gz, etc. but I guess zip is easier for Windows
users
I guess and is no pb for Linux guys)
6. Copy on a directory with a revolving number of instances

The README file could be
<<To run OFBiz please use this simple sequence:
1. Depending of your platform, launch OFBiz using startofbiz.bat
or
startofbiz.sh
2. Give OFBiz a minute or two to start up...
3. Browse to
ERP : https://localhost:8443/catalog/control/main (login/ pwd are
ofbiz/admin)
Ecommerce application :
http://localhost:8080/ecommerce/control/main(when<http://localhost:8080/ecommerce/control/main%28when >checking out you may use as login/pwd DemoCustomer/ofbiz)
Enjoy
Warning : this OFBiz release has not been thoroughly tested and
you
may encouter bugs, please refer to user ML in such case :
[EMAIL PROTECTED] , thanks.
Cheers
Jacques

From: "Tim Ruppert" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Do you guys want to have this automated and part of the nightly
build so that it's easy and done as part of the demo deployment
every
night? We can just post it at http:// demo.hotwaxmedia.com/ . .
.
/ nightlybuild.zip - and then keep a certain amount around for a
certain
amount of time. If anyone's interested - I'd be happy to set it
up.

Jacques, let me know your thoughts on this.

Cheers,
Tim

Jacques,
Ant is no longer needed (it is included in OFBiz). I think the
readme file
should only mention that the JAVA SDK should be installed.
+1 for having in the zip files the Derby database already
loaded
with demo
data.

Yes sure, as I said in my 1st point :o). BTW the new README

will now
be :

If they wants to fo further they will have to use svn...
Any other opinions (for instance, should we go the way Adian
suggested and
I agreed with ?)

Are you doing an svn export - to remove all the .svn folders?

Adrian,
Yes good idea, using Potgres I forgot Derby. A bit more work
on
our side
though. Moreover, as we don't know the platform which will be used, we have to add the plugin.jar in base/lib in each.
FYI, the respective size of zipped trunk and release are 50MB
and  40MB
before
creating demo data in Derby and 66MB, 53MB after
