Hi @mbrohl and @ieugen , Since I last looked at this piece of work I've become aware of the project's use of the gradle Application plugin to create distributions. This suggests that gradle might not always be used for deploying an ofbiz instance and therefore using gradle.properties to configure database access properties (username, password, etc) may not be all that useful. I do wonder though if there is still value in identifying approved versions of database drivers and selecting them for inclusion in a distribution (by adding to the dependencies list) based on a build-time property via the command line or gradle.properties. This would reduce the deployment process by one step since the administrator will not have to figure out which driver is declared as compatible with ofbiz for their particular DBMS. I'll drop the changes related to properties for DB access (username, password, etc) and query about the value of resolving a driver based on a build property to the mailing list. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
