If I'm not mistaken, some government prefer black box instead of open
source software for POS (Belgium and France for example) because of the
VAT control. So OFBiz can't be eligible... It could be the same in
another country...

It is indeed a pity that the POS solution didn't attract more adoption
since inception in trunk. The last time I came across a lead related
to the
component was approx. 2 years ago.

Sincerely it's against my heart but not without reason that I also

to remove the --both and --pos options.
I put much time in the POS, but did not seriously work on it since
end of
2009, and nobody contributed anything new since.
XUI http://xui.sourceforge.net/index.html is dead for 8 years and
has no
replacement, see OFBIZ-2158 and for fun

So I'd not be against putting the POS in Attic. Of course if someone
volunteers to maintain the POS (contributors included, plugins to
come in
mind), instead of putting it in the Attic, I'd gladly (but reasonably)
help...
BTW, though I don't see anything at
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Component+and+Component+Set+Dependencies,
I wonder if the WebPos does not partially rely on the POS,
something to
check?
For the --testlist option it seems useless to me and would anyway be in
the history if ever someone get out of cryonics

Hello Everyone,
This is a proposal to _remove_ the following commands from the OFBiz
server
(invoked with ./gradlew "ofbiz --commandHere"
1- --both
2- --pos
3- --testlist
Reasons:
- The POS component is a specialpurpose component and should not have
code
existing in the start component. Instead logic for starting the POS
component should reside inside the POS component and away from
framework
- After lots of investigation I realized the testlist OFBiz
command is a
weird command that used to create an ant file that just iterates
over the
existing integration test suites and run them one by one, which is
slower
vs just running them all. It is deprecated and to my knowledge no
one is
using it. I think it used to serve some deprecated cobertura tasks.
This would imply deleting the following files:
-
framework/start/src/main/java/org/apache/ofbiz/base/start/testlist.properties
-
framework/testtools/src/main/java/org/apache/ofbiz/testtools/TestListContainer.java
-
framework/base/src/main/java/org/apache/ofbiz/base/splash/SplashLoader.java
and modifying the following files:
-
framework/start/src/main/java/org/apache/ofbiz/base/start/Config.java
-
framework/start/src/main/java/org/apache/ofbiz/base/start/StartupCommandUtil.java
- (move it to POS)
framework/base/src/main/java/org/apache/ofbiz/base/splash/SplashScreen.java
Agreed?
Regards,
