It would be nice if as many people as possible could test these files out, focusing on making sure that it works for you (ie you can unarchive and run it), and that the MD5 checksum checks out, and that the signing with my PGP key also checks out, oh and that all of the legal notices and such are in place. If you want to help out you don't have to do all of these things, just do what you can (and want to).
I didn't have time for much more, but it downloads and builds on Ubuntu 6.06 with Sun's Java 1.4. One addition that I think would be handy is a README file along these lines (feel free to copy it and add to it) in the top level directory: ---- Welcome to Apache OFBiz! To start OFBiz, you will need Java 1.4 or later. To build and run OFBiz, run 'ant run-install' in the top level directory. To run OFBiz, run 'ant run' in the top level directory. This runs OFBiz with the built-in Derby database engine. For production environments, you probably want to configure OFBiz to use an external database. For further information on configuring, running, and using OFBiz, please see the documentation at X Y Z. -- David N.
