Hi Julien,
I've created a plugin, and included the project controller in my plug in's
controller.xml :
<include
location="component://secialpurpose/projectmgr/webapp/projectmgr/WEB-INF/controller.xml"/>
Do I need to include the project enitymodel in my plug in's enitymodel.xml?
TIA
Shane

Hi Shane,
I prefer to create a new component to fit my specifications instead of
modifying the ootb component.
Why ? Because if you modify the ootb component, it will be harder to upgrade
the OFBiz version. You'll probably have some source code conflict and each time
you'll want to upgrade OFBiz, you'll have to manage it.
By creating a new plugin, you avoid this kind of problem. You can just create a
new plugin that the controller include the Project controller, copy the
screen.xml and you have another Project component. Identical.
When you implement specificities, you can replace screens and forms without
modifying ootb component. And you can also use all ootb Project services,
screen, form, etc. already done for your business.
This is the way I prefer to do
HTH
Julien.
