Q) framework/example and framework/exampleext: move to specialpurpose
Adrian would like to keep Example in the framework but slim it down a lot to
the essential (no form widgets examples, no Ajax
examples, no content examples etc...). Adrian would you please confirm if in your vision
the "example" application should
document the layout of a typical OFBiz component only? If yes, we could use the output of
the "ant create-component" task to
document the best practice layout.
Jacques, Olivier would like to keep also the examples for the various higher
level features available to OFBiz applications.
I think that from the discussion it could emerge the following solution to
please everyone:
* keep the "example" component in the framework but slim it down to the bare
essential
* move the "exampleext" component to specialpurpose and migrate to it all the
extra features: this could also be used as a best
practice guide on how to extend a component from hot-deploy/specialpurpose
I still think that it would be nicer to not bundle the "example" component ootb
to keep the framework cleaner: the example should
be downloaded separately (when we will have clear separation between framework
and the rest); this approach is similar to tomcat
and its example applications. But I don't have a strong opinion on this.
Jacopo
example and exampleext are they useful for production site ?
if Apache OFBiz implement a plugin manager, why don't use ant (or other) to
prepare OFBiz according to its use.
If you want develop on OFBiz, when you download from svn run : ant
run-install-dev (it's a example ;)) and ant use plugin manager
to resolve all extras project that compose the official OFBiz developer package.
Interesting, it's based on Ivy, right? Did you ever re-consider Maven (I know
the historical ;o)?
I guess ant+Ivy is more flexible? I prefer it too, but only crossed Maven
during a Geronimo developement
[my life]
At this time, I comment all unneeded components as example on production site.
It isn't a problem, just I don't find clean :)

Yes, I do the same, and certainly others as well...
