I can now confirm that the issue is primarily one of my lack of familiarity with it.

I, quite by accident, found a way into a 'package view', and was able to follow the instructions you previously gave for resolving the build path errors, and this was successful. I have now built trunk and 13.07, as checked out using svn, using this method. Until a few minutes ago, I did not know that that package view existed. > Check out a local copy of the OFBiz project using a regular Subversion > client, then create a new project in Eclipse that uses the local copy: > > File -> New -> Project... -> Java Project -> Next -> uncheck Use default > location -> browse to local copy of OFBiz -> finish wizard > > And this worked too. I successfully built trunk from the package view, using this method. So, now I know two methods to skin this particular cat. Now, I have both MySQL and Postgres (several instances on several machines). Would there be a problem adding their respective JDBC connectors, so that I can switch between the one and the other just by modifying the relevant configuration file? And, can it use the instances of these connectors that are already installed on my system, or do I have to download the connectors and copy them into the ofbiz directory tree? Thanks Ted
