Thanks Jacques! I really puzzled on the meaning of "grok" and "gist".
Why maven? Currently, our requirements on deliveries between two positions are vague. I think maven is the right tool to support our new development procedure. Ant too can do it, but this is not ant born for. Here is the desired procedure after maven introduced: For component designers: I plan to develop a OFBiz-maven plugin in this year or next year to make ofbiz component development more productively. A designer can create an OFBiz project and input the release version, then typical files such as pom.xml, ofbiz-component.xml are ready. And then he/she can create some interface java files and entity definitions, upload the project to svn. Currently we use typical component projects for OFBiz 4.0 and OFBiz 09.04. For programmers: Download a project from svn and continue the development or fix bugs, build snapshot jars and war, upload them to maven snapshot repository. For SQAs: Download a snapshot war from maven snapshot repository and deploy it in hot-deploy, check results and typical UI. Release sources-jars, jars and war in maven release repository. For deployers: Download wars from maven release repository and deploy them in customers environments.
