Scott,
In my opinion it all boils down to personal preference. OFBiz still supports JPublish, so a user can
utilize it if they wish.

David, et al,
I dont use opentaps because of the licensing but Si seems to be doing a
pretty good job over there. I also try to follow both the opentaps and ofbiz
forums and learn as much as I can.
That said, there was this post from Si the other day and I just wonder what
your opinion was. Here it is;
"About three years ago ofbiz used a screen templating system called
"jpublish", which they've subsequently replaced with a the ofbiz screen
widget. During that time, jpublish has been advancing as well and is now
getting ready to a new release.
Florin, who is the lead developer of jpublish now, has published these
documents about it:

http://code.google.com/p/jpublish/wiki/JPublishUserGuide
I'm considering whether we should go back to jpublish for the opentaps
applications. While we (meaning Open Source Strategies) are very familiar
with the screen widget now and have a lot of code built around it, I have a
nagging feeling that it is a very counterintuitive tool and inhibiting other
developers. I'd like to get some feedback from everybody about what they
think of the ofbiz screen widget and whether jpublish might be a better
long-term solution? "
