Features that should be available in the framework-only OFBiz distribution
Introduction
At this time OFBiz is distributed as a single package containing both the framework and several complex ERP applications.
It is a shared community willing to have the framework part separated from the applications so that it could even be distributed alone and, only if needed, the selected applications added during deployment.
This page collects information, requirements and agreed todos that should be considered while working on the OFBiz framework. This should be also considered a guide to better coordinate efforts on this large, long-awaited task.
Discussion links
We had several discussions on the mailing lists. Please find here useful links.
- Issue with a framework dependency on the Party component
- Moving securityext to the framework
