I personally feel a binary only distribution will be very helpful which
does not need any of the build time tool chain such a Ant, Maven or SVN
to pull the sources. It should be like any other standard distribution
of Tomcat, Geronimo or any other application.
Extending the existing ant scripts or using Maven can help us create a
binary release. It should be one click process to install (using
installer) for Windows and single command line like "tar -xvzf
apache-ofbiz-x.xx.tar.gz.
Thanks,

From the work I have done on creating an Eclipse application, I quite
like the OSGi plugin concept. OSGi may help ofbiz in areas like
dependency management and hot upgrades. Maven 2 would be suitable as
the build tool.
There is a lot to learn about OSGi first though...
Please feel free to put a design or prototype together :o)
Though discussing it before avoids disillusions... So what is your
idea, Maven 2 ?
