Hi Raj,
This would be surely very appreciated!

Not having a stable release is certainly a hindrance in OFBiz adapter.
Even though we have release branch, there is no released binaries which
runs without development time tool chain. I can commit my time to:
1. Write ant target/Maven goals to create a binary only release.
2. Write an nice looking installer to install OFBiz with few mouse clicks.
Thanks,
Raj

I don't think that the focus of the OFBiz community is to make OFBiz
a consulting revenue generator, nor I think that the absence of a
stable recent release is a consequence of this.
The awful truth, imo, is that maintaining a release is expensive (in
terms of man hours) and the time contributed by the users of OFBiz
(i.e. its community made of final users, consultants etc...) until
now has not been enough to have a good release plan.

I totally agree with Jacopo, BTW it's a well known fact in the OFBiz
community which has been repeated many times on this ML.
Though this is slowly improving...
