Hi Deepak,
Thanks, I sometimes wondered indeed why we keep the applications in what we call the framework. After almost 25 years, I think it could be good
decision to separate applications from the framework. Even if of course it will be more work for contributors and committers. Because, unlike for the
plugins, often changes in one of them imply change in the other, not always.

Hi Team,
I would like to propose restructuring the OFBiz architecture by moving core
applications out of the main OFBiz framework — similar to how plugins are
currently managed.
This change would enable developers to build *custom ERP solutions* without
being tied to all the default applications and their associated 750+
database tables. By decoupling applications from the framework, we can
provide a lighter and more modular foundation for building domain-specific
or microservice-based solutions.
I strongly believe this approach will *significantly increase OFBiz
adoption* and flexibility, allowing users to leverage the framework purely
as an enterprise-grade development platform rather than being constrained
by bundled modules.
Thanks & Regards
