Mathieu Lirzin commented on OFBIZ-11161:
----------------------------------------
I use it mainly to refresh the resource files in the classpath, but indeed
automatic unit testing and recompilation can be helpful too.
> OFBiz distribution should not require including extra content

> Key: OFBIZ-11161
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-11161
> Project: OFBiz
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: framework
> Affects Versions: Trunk
> Reporter: Mathieu Lirzin
> Assignee: Mathieu Lirzin
> Priority: Major
> Attachments:
> OFBIZ-11161_0001-Separate-resources-from-Java-source-files.patch,
> OFBIZ-11161_0002-Don-t-exclude-properties-and-labels-file-fr.patch,
> OFBIZ-11161_0003-framework_Remove-redundant-dtd-directory-from-classpa.patch,
> OFBIZ-11161_0003-plugins_Remove-redundant-dtd-directory-from-classpa.patch
>
>
> Currently to deploy OFBiz it is necessary to include the source directories
> containing xml and groovy files in addition of {{ofbiz.jar}}, because loading
> of those files is not done using the standard [location independent resource
> mechanism|https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/lang/resources.html]
> of Java.
> To facilitate the deployment on production servers, the following
> configuration is added in {{build.gradle}}
> {code:groovy}
> distributions.main.contents.from(rootDir) {
> include 'framework/**', 'applications/**', 'themes/**', 'plugins/**'
> }
> {code}
> However this doesn't solve the problem that OFBiz is not usable as a library
> downloaded from a Jar repository. The proper solution would be to remove any
> dependencies on OFBiz home directory and bundle every resource in
> {{ofbiz.jar}}
> This has been [discussed on Development mailing
> list|https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/c2612f1e296b6ea15872185871d3a9d83d6a4afc6d2a76f7a336a126@%3Cdev.ofbiz.apache.org%3E]
