I see that http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ofbiz/ has only trunk,
nothing in branches or tags. Is this true? I'm currently downloading
the trunk.
Whoa! You checked in even the library jars? Could've kept a mere
1-liner document specifying which library version (fop, velocity,
json, etc) is "tested and approved" with the current revision, and
then kept the actual jar file somewhere else in a file server.
Ok, done downloading. Just to confirm. I downloaded 26.33MB of files.
4115 files and folders. Revision 493088. Is this correct? It's the trunk.

I do appreciate all your time. Notice that I don't talk to the
community like it's a paid tech support team; I try to do a
give-and-take. Yeah, true, I did ask for a LOT, but I also offered to
give a LOT in return. I hope you can see how I can rapidly take apart
OFBiz and fix issues for the community quickly. STILL, taking it apart
takes that bit longer than for you to point me the way.
I'm also footing the bill in helping you guys thrash out
problems/issues with OFBiz. The more you help get me up to speed, the
sooner I can contribute, the sooner I can get efficient and save costs
for myself and everybody else too.
And I did try to meet the community folks more than halfway. It even
came to me tracing the code execution and feeding back to the
community what I found. Chances are high it's a critical bug in
OpenTaps related to Job Shop, if Jacopo is right about things.
Like I said before, if time pressures get worse, esp because I can't
get up to speed soon enough what with all the mind-boggling
kinks/bugs, I'll have no choice but to bury my head into working on
OFBiz, not with OFBiz. That'll mean I won't have time to give back to
the community.
I don't see a problem updating my own OFBiz branch with the official
OFBiz branch periodically. I can easily enough audit every change
between say revision 1000 and 1500, and merge in the changes without
breaking anything in the official or personal OFBiz. But I REALLY wish
to dump my work back to the community, if for nothing else, simply to
have someone audit my work.
I wonder what happened to OpenTaps. Should've been easy enough to
avoid compatibility issues as long as OFBiz changes are systematically
audited against OpenTaps' features/interfaces. Are systematic audits
done before rolling out OpenTaps releases? We'll see what Si Chen
says. Still not yet sure if the Job Shop problem is in OpenTaps or in
OFBiz. Will find out soon enough.
Thanks a lot for your time. You did give me several major jumpstarts.

Nothing has happened to opentaps. It works for me, but you should try
reading the manual to see how to configure it.
