Yes, but that did not dive into any details. I know this sounds odd,

found that having two catalogs results in that the "Choose
Catalog"-screenlet becomes visible.
If I build a hierarchy of categories, then the "browse categories"

visible.
The last mile is to understand what to do for the featured products

visible.
By "featured products" do you mean the ecommerce home/main page?
That is basically just a template that does a category display, and
the category is looked up as one associated to a catalog. The demo
data has a category with the ID "PROMOTIONS" and if you add products
to that category they'll show up on the main page.
If you're feeling brave try browsing/searching through the
DemoProduct.xml file... it is where this and other demo data comes
from and you can learn about lots of features and options in a short
amount of time by glancing through it, especially since the XML
element names (just entity names in the OFBiz data model) correspond
to the labels in the UI, so it's fairly easy to search and browse for
stuff.

I have been looking at the demodata, and the behavour of the
ecommerce-screen. I have spent hours to understand why some products
shows
up at the featured main ecommerce screen, for example GZ-2644. For
example
GZ-2002 does not.
Secondly there are three catalogs, but only two of these shows up in
the
ecommerce screen.
When I start from scratch and registering my catalogs, cathegories
and
products. None of these shows up on the ecommerce screen. I am
puzzled.
I have been looking at the documentation, but nothing there gives any
insight into how ecommerce-screen is connected to the katalog-
screens.
Could anyone please send a link that could open this jammed problem.
Thanks
