Hi Anil:
Thanks for your notes. Please excuse me if I seem a bit pushy here, but
could we please take this logic one step further?

Branch); Nightly
Hi Ruth,
Branching is a term common to developers so I understand the confusion.
There are two release branches in Ofbiz, 4.0 and 9.04 so if you're looking
for the latest version of the latest release use this link:
http://build.ofbiz.org/builds904/ofbiz-rel9.04-current.zip
Again a point proven
Hi Jeroen:
Thanks for you quick reply!
To the list and the PMC specifically:
Could we change the BIG FAT DOWNLOAD button to point to this
branch/release? Please? Should I enter this request as a JIRA?
Thanks again.

IMO the button should direct to a (wiki?)page wich contains links to the
latest 9.04 release, setup instructions and end-user documentation.

Hi List:
Just downloaded 9.04 version 8853369. Nice job! Very impressive.
From where I sit the eCommerce site looks really nice. At first pass,
everything shows up on the page in a good way. The default Webtools
theme is nice and crisp. I'd recommend this to any first time user.
Thanks for
The 9.04 version does not depend on Java 6 - it requires Java 5.

Hi Jeroen:
That would work as long as the instructions etc. were not too
complicated. IMO, the existing content is too much for a new user to
digest. It works for an experienced OFBiz developer because they know
exactly where to go to download code. Someone who has never been to the

Write some text that will make it easier and I'll post it in there. If it's
confusing, please help to make it better. Those pages were put up there for
developers - and having some feedback from a tech writer would definitely be
helpful.

I do not think this is a good idea at all unless we're going to encourage
people to start development on the branch - which is NOT what we've been doing
all along. Let's make the text more clear as to what they're getting as well
as showing them where to go and get it. Looking forward to some

If that resource is the definitive answer, then why does that BIG FAT

Hi Ruth,
I agree with you on having a branch for the JDK switch (as I propose
to use branches for every change) but it doesn't help to be so
ruthless (what's in a name) towards the community. I use Max OSX too

I like the download button idea. It helps new users figure out first
