If you could change anything about the OFBiz framework (not related to a specific tier), what would it be? This could be about how OFBiz is deployed, how the tools fit together, how application components are written and organized, and so on.
All comments are welcome. If there is another tool you'd like to see used, please describe what you like about it (like "I've found the aspect oriented inversion of control approach nice because I can plugin all sorts of tools and the full life cycle of the tools are managed for me") instead of just mentioning the tool (like "let's use Spring!"). Why am I asking? This topic comes up every once in a while, and it's true that many suggestions never get enough support to actually happen (or on further research it is decided that the idea is not tenable), but brainstorming about them to get ideas in the open is still a great thing. The history of OFBiz is full of things like this where users and more casual contributors had ideas and saw possibilities that others, even more involved contributors, totally missed or never looked at that way. What I think would be fun, and ultimately useful too, is to keep this mostly to brainstorming and not do too much comparing of ideas. BTW, if you want to brainstorm about one of the tiers (ie the Data, Logic, or UI tiers) please use the other threads on those. -David
