Thanks for the description. If I were to develop a custom application based
on ofbiz for a customer, what would be the criteria to decide on placing it
into the 'special purpose' subdir or the 'hot deploy' subdir.
Thanks
If you are writing something totaly brand new, then go for specialpurpose. I you can reuse some parts then go for hot-deploy,
duplicate directories structures of modules you want to enhance/adapt and write only the code parts you want to change, or add new
code in this directories structure.

Not exactly, framework and applications are different things.
Framework is the core system of the framework. It can be seen as the
technical part
Applications are the basic applications to demonstratre framework power
and to implement a basic
ERP/CRM/E-Business/E-Commerce/SCM/MRP/CMMS/EAM/etc. They can be seen as
the core business part. They are used by customers
applications.
Specialpurpose are not fundamental applications which are using basic
applications. For instance the POS use order, accounting,
parties, etc.
Hot-deploy is a mean to plug new applications by reusing existing ones and
preventing to duplicate code. You can put there any code
which will replace same existing code or/and you can add you own code (not
only java).
and the 'hot-deploy' subdir is for custom user applications that
use ofb as a framework?
Not only you can use specialpurpose too. Hot-deploy applications are
loaded last (after specialpurpose) so they override all
existing same code. Specialpurpose and hot-deploy have different goals.

There's no reason to ever move anything from hot-deploy to
applications unless it's to become part of the framework application
suite.

Is there a checklist of what to look out for when moving an app from
dev mode in hot-deploy to ${ofbiz}/applications/ ?
