Hi Nick,

Please answer rather on the ML than directly to me. You will get a better support, people can answer you on the ML. The wider the audience the better the answers you might get.

This is how Atlassian see OFBiz through Jira where it's used from start of the 
product (mostly through the Entity Engine, but not only as shows your link)

This is not how the OFBiz community see OFBiz. You may refer to 
https://ofbiz.apache.org/ and get info from there...

Hi Jacques,


not sure that I quite follow.  I suppose I'd expect (most) of ofbiz to be an 
API or library, where you simply add dependencies through gradle:


https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.ofbiz


but, generally at least, these are compiled from source?


thanks,


Nick

Hi Nick,

It's recommended by the ASF and easier for the Release Manager: 
http://www.apache.org/legal/release-policy.html

So we decided so when/by introducing Gradle

Feel free to contribute a "hello world" app, in the form of a Gradle task, if 
you like.

I was looking at the doc's, which have this command:


For Linux/Mac: $ ./gradlew pullAllPluginsSource


which makes me wonder whether perhaps it might not make more sense to write a "hello world" app which downloads any dependencies as already built JAR's rather than compiling from source?


Why the need to compile the packages?
