Re: How to return to a previous plugin version?
Thank you Aditya and Michael, I worked with various versions of the same plugin. So I had several mytest* plugins in the plugin directory with the same mount point in the ofbiz-component.xml file. I did not remember that OFBiz runs through all directories and reads the ofbiz-component.xml files for each. Now I moved all the directories I made for backup into a directory outside of the ofbiz directory. Now it works as far as I can tell. I use WinMerge to compare the directories for changes.

Hi Georg, What I suspect with a cursory reading is as you made a replica the values of mount point etc may be the same https://github.com/apache/ofbiz-plugins/blob/trunk/ecommerce/ofbiz-component.xml#L55 As you are new to OFBiz, I would recommend using the Gradle task to create a new plugin instead of replicating it. if you just want to play with it with various versions of same plugin.

How to return to a previous plugin version?
For testing I create a plugin, e.g. mytest: “gradlew createPlugin -PpluginId=mytest”. To be able to fall back to a working version, I frequently copy this plugin directory to e.g. mytest-1, mytest-2 etc. When I decide to use the mytest-1 directory again, I rename the directory I am currently working with to mytest-current and copy mytest-1 to mytest. Then I restart ofbiz and expect that to work with this mytest directory. However, OFBiz seems to continue to work with the former current directory. E.g. I have made three menu items in mytest-current while I had just two menu items in the older mytest-1 directory. After copying the mytest-1 directory to mytest and restarting OFBiz, I still have three menu items displayed although there should be only two. What could be the reason for this and what do I have to do to properly fall back to the state of mytest-1?
