Hi Jacques, On a quick skim through, I highly recommend removing completely any traces of "java -jar". The reason for my recommendation is that gradle automates the build process. Exposing end-users to how things happen means exposing them to implementation details. This has the following negative outcomes:
- Users need to be aware of JVM arguments to properly execute commands - Changes we might decide to do in the future would break existing systems because users are exposed to the details of how the system is constructed. - The ofbiz.jar which is constructed from gradle has hardcoded library paths that depend on each user's computer setup. Any changes to the setup would not be reflected correctly using raw java commands. This would probably confuse people a lot and debugging would be a pain. If you let Gradle take over the whole thing then you minimize the confusion. - The syntax for java -jar is more complex So my recommendation is to replace every occurence of java -jar with ./gradlew "ofbiz --whatever-commands-here".
