breaking ofbiz piece by piece - expose parts to outside

[Eugen Stan]

Hello OFBiz devs,

I had some time to check out OFBiz again and I would like to propose 
some improvements to OFBiz.


The purpose is to split some independent parts from ofbiz so they can be 
used by other projects that wish to interact with OFBiz.


The main beneficiaries will be ofbiz related tooling IMO.

I believe I have identified two initial candidates for splitting:

- datafile component = "framework/datafile" - split as a project / 
library - usefull for tooling
- base/crypto - 
framework/base/src/main/java/org/apache/ofbiz/base/crypto - to do crypto 
in tooling compatible with ofbiz
- base/util - framework/base/src/main/java/org/apache/ofbiz/base/util - 
this is used across both of the above stuff


== How the split should happen and how it will look like:


Use gradle subprojects feature to define 3 subprojects in the 
ofbiz-framework git repo:

- base/utils
- base/crypto
- components/datafile

The projects will be standalone gradle projects that can be built 
individually and have dependencies.
https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/declaring_dependencies_between_subprojects.html 



Since these projects can build jar files, they can be published to maven 
to be consumed by other apps.
Since they are projects part of ofbiz-framework, they will participate 
as dependencies in the build.


I hope this can open the door to further refactoring and making OFBiz 
play nicer with outside developers.



After the change, the code should function the same with regards to 
normal OFBIz operations




It is somewhat related to https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-3500

Fixed: Time zone display for JDK17+ (OFBIZ-12721) (#676)

Use ZoneId API to get time zone display name

Thanks Ioan Eugen

jleroux: I did not find any timeZone.getDisplayName in in Java and Groovy files 
so I guess it's OK to close.
