I'm with you chris, ofbiz is a very nice framework to develop any web applications, not just erp/ecommerce applications.

That's the approach I tried when I ran into dependency problems. This then worried me that if I did fix the dependency problem I found, what other dependency issues would I run into later down the line? A developer learning ofbiz doesn't need to think about component dependencies on top of learning the framework! I was thinking about your comment of leaving the components in place even though they are not used. Does leaving unused components in place have a performance impact on ofbiz? Do those components consume memory? - they are certainly using disk space. Some of the components for example BIRT consume a fair amount of space. Can you imagine if Eclipse worked by making you install every plugin available even if you don't use it? The performance impact on eclipse wouldn't be too bad though because eclipse lazily loads plugins when they are first used.
