Hi,
I have created a simple proof of concept to enable custom changes to be stored in an external directory. An advantage of this approach is to facilitate easier upgrade.
Changes that are externalised includes:
1) demo data n pictures
2) entityengine.xml
3) runtime folder
4) hot-deploy
5) build.xml
6) translations changes
7) properties changes
More can be done. The current files structure for the external directory can be found in
https://github.com/jamesyong/o3erp-ext-ecommerce/tree/master/javaChanges to the ofbiz base can be found in
https://github.com/jamesyong/o3erpIf you are interested in the approach, we can discuss more. I am willing to contribute the code changes.
Regards,
james
