Hi Jonatan, From: "jonatan soto" <seniledemen...@gmail.com> Maven can also solve the problem of the distributable releases, centralize a repository for the modules and much more. The inclusion of Maven affects all the life cycle of any project improving the control of all the required phases. But i understand that Ofbiz is a very huge and mature project so that means it will be very difficult to integrate it.
I agree Maven 2 is great but, you got the point <<very difficult to integrate ...>>. We have other priorities... Thanks Jacques
From my point of view, it's very dificult to decide between Ofbiz and other
ERP. As a new user/developer I see Ofbiz almost focused to ecommerce that is very convenient for my present ecommerce project but in the other hand I see Ofbiz dificult to 'sell' if I decide to do some consulting for a non-ecommerce companies. Anyway I will bet for Ofbiz because it is an Apache project, and it makes me more confortable even more when I think how Apache projects have been changed my developer life.
