Mmm, there are 24 instance or "run-install" (or alike like runinstall

later...
17 of them are in the wiki (the "OFBiz (Open For Business) Project
Open Wiki" Confluence workspace
In the meantime, if you register and ask for a contributor access you
could clean/update them...
If I become an OfBiz user, I will try to contribute in the doc area.
I do this in a few other projects which I use.
I am not likely to read, fix or write any code but I enjoy editing and
bring a great deal of ignorance to the documentation reading process
that can be an advantage when reading and questioning documentation.

I am working my way through this in the hope that I will end up

I have found some information that is wrong or missing. I notice
that the page has not been changed since 2012.
1) It says that you need to have ant installed. That is not enough.
You also need to have ant-apache-regexp or you will get
"java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
org.apache.tools.ant.util.regexp.Jdk14RegexpRegexp"
I have removed the section about ant needed to be installed. You
should better use the embedded ant following the way I documented in
the page above this afternoon (ie use ./ant on *nix systems, always
from OFBiz root on any plaftorm
I which case did you get the Jdk14RegexpRegexp
ClassNotFoundException? Doing what I mean? Could you retry using
./ant ?
2) It says that you should run ant as "ant run-install" but when
you do, the script says that you should have actually run "ant
load-demo".
I will fix that one, the 1st is to be used before R12.04 release
(and branch) the 2nd after
3) There are a lot of warnings about deprecrated methods
You are welcome to help about that
4) Not sure if this matters Warning : Module classpath component
'/usr/java/packages/lib/amd64' is not valid and will be ignored...
You can normally neglect such warning, just an information about
your system
5) A lot of these: "warning: [options] bootstrap class path not
set in conjunction with -source 1.6"
This is because you compile with Java 7. You can use it (and it's
better/faster) but if you want to run tests (ant run-tests) then you
need to use an *Oracle* JDK 6.
6) Warning that "
/usr/share/tomcat7/webapps/accounting/specialpurpose/scrum/src/org/ofbiz/scrum/ScrumServices.java
uses unchecked or unsafe operations."
That's interesting, I will have a look at it
7) When trying to follow this "Find the "default" delegator near
the top of the file and change the datasource-name attribute value
in the group-map tag under it to the name of the data source you
modified or created. ", you find that the default delegator has
several group-names commented out and several not commented out. In
my case, I want to use mySQL which is commented out so I changed
that and commented out every other one. The instructions should be
a bit clearer about what this means and what is the right
configuration of coments and group-maps.
You are welcome to help improving the documentation in the open
wiki. As explained at the top of its pages, you must register in
Confluence and then ask us for a write access.
8) In changing the database, the actual : ${ofbiz install
dir}/framework/entity/config/entityengine.xml file has a note about
making the test delegator match the default. This is missing in the
documentation.
Are you referring to a specific part of the documentation? Again you
are welcome to help improving the documentation in the open wiki,
but if it's in a part (Confluence workspace) you can't have access
then let us know and we will add/amend there.
9) The ant run ends with a wonderful combination of a series of
warnings followed by a null pointer and "BUILD SUCCESSFUL" with no
tables created in the mySQL database.

Only when using the embedded Derby you can expect OFBiz to wipe and
create the DB for you. When using another DBMS you must 1st create
the DB in it.
I hope that these comments help.
Thanks for sharing, yes that helps...
I will try to see what I did to cause the null pointer since the
person writing the code did not think that any error was possible
at that point!
Perhaps I commented out too many group-map entities.
I will take this up on the user forum until the wiki gets fixed.
You must have done something specific, yes

Ron.
