sounds like you extending the entity engine so the data can be on the Cloud. Though I would not use it, I can see where some my want to do that. if the cloud can run ofbiz (java SDK) then sounds like that is all you need.

hi all, There is a very wonderful feature in JIRA - plugin mechanism based on OSGI, with which ofbiz application could be extended in a very dynamic way. No need to restart. It means a lot not from technical perspective but also from business perspective. If we can borrow the idea from JIRA, then we can bring ofbiz up to cloud and have an partner ecosystem around it. Taking CRM component as an example, if we have the JIRA plugin mechanism, we can turn it into another salesforce. It seems JIRA plugin is also open source Not sure whether we can merge it into ofbiz. -- Regards, Michael Xu (xudong)
