Hello Hans, All, Sorry for the false alarm.
I "have" read the ofbiz README file. I "do" run a "./ant run-install" during the first trunk checkout. Subsequently all svn updates to my working copy, I use the "./ant refresh" to recompile. It has not caused me any problems until this incident. When I run "./ant refresh" on ofbiz using derby database, I do see that the derby database files are deleted. So running "./startofbiz.sh" after that would cause ofbiz to recreate the database tables. Perhaps this was one of those rare glitches that take place somewhere during the workflow starting from the "svn update" command. But all works fine now. Thanks all for helping. Wai PS: Hans, my first name is Wai. No need to address me as Mister....I'm just a simple working stiff :-) -- View this message in context: http://ofbiz.135035.n4.nabble.com/latest-trunk-code-is-broken-tp3945234p3948024.html Sent from the OFBiz - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
