Naive question, but has it ever been considered to put the existing system in 
legacy mode and start a new project?  One of the attractive aspects of OFBiz is 
it's very comprehensive.  One of the difficult aspects is it doesn't take 
advantage of any recent packaging technologies like Spring or OSGi or 
presentation technologies that would work well with recent browser 
capabilities.  I can't imagine that the optimal solution remains one that was 
architected before any of these technologies were mature.
