Hi David:
Thanks for the quick reply. Given your response - I'm wondering if a
useful addition to OFBiz would be a feature in webtools to manage OFBiz
components. I can envision a wizard driven interface that builds the
basic directory structure and config file(s) such as the
ofbiz-component.xml file necessary to get a new component operational?
This could be extended to allow for the (sort-of) dynamic removal of
components. What do you think?

The best way to do this is just put it in the "hot-deploy" directory.
When OFBiz starts up it will look in that directory for
sub-directories that have a "ofbiz-component.xml" file which it will
read to load resources for that component.

P.S. It's good to see you around again Ruth!

Hello All:
I'm a big fan of OFBiz - nice job on the Apache site, BTW.
Congratulations - it is World class!
I've been using OFBiz off and on for a few years now for a number of
different projects. Recently, I had a requirement to add a custom
component to the application section of the framework. After a brief
search of the mailing lists (I have been away from the OFBiz
collaborative tools for sometime) and documentation I have the
following question:
Is there an automatic way to add a component to the framework - or is
this still a manual process? I don't see any obvious webtool or other
mechanism for doing this through OFBiz.
