IMO instead of thinking to support different UI framework we can define our standard html and then write css based on it. If anyone want to plug different UI framework then user can create new template file and and set it in widget.properties. Thanks & Regards -- Deepak Dixit

These are good news, Nicolas :-) I started to review your efforts on common-theme but might not have digged deep enough to notice the separation layer (there are many changes already). I thought that it just moved the base theme and images stuff out of the framework. I really appreciate

Michael the separation layer between html/css/js lib and the model screen is already done on the common-theme present on my github repo (1) without break older theme. This it's the easier face on the problem, because the hidden face is present with elements who use macro without ui rendering

Hi Gil, we have similar challenges and modified OFBiz to deal with it easily. We offered to contribute this long time ago (2008) but it was decided against [1]. It was suggested to use patches instead but I think it's too complicated to manage several patch sets for different environments.

Hi Michael, I agreed it will be going too far if we adopt JSF. Maybe better value to spend on improving what OFBiz already have. Regards, James Yong On 2017/07/04 14:57:33, Michael Brohl wrote: > Hi James, > > thanks for your suggestions. > > As far as I know, JSF
