[FYI] POS goes to Attic

[Jacques Le Roux]

Hi,

The OFBiz developers (committers or not) have decided (no official vote was required applying lazy consensus) on the OFBiz dev ML to put the POS
component in Attic.

Here is the thread: http://markmail.org/message/hhb4vox7pfxn7uvy (you might look above and below)

Note: I was the main POS maintainer just after its inception by Andrew Zenesky in 2004

Thanks for your attention

Jacques

Something I want to note there and will repeat in any place it will fit (notably in wiki) is that the POS will be in Attic which means *it will still
be available in the repo as is*

So I'll keep the documentation as is in wiki with a link to the last revision the POS will be available (I'll tag it). So If ever someone wants to use
the POS or (why not?) revive it, it's will still be possible.

Note that the POS uses XUI which is no longer maintained (since 2008) and the POS has not changed for years, my last effort was in end of 2009.

What are end users doing about POS? Are they using what just got put in
the Attic, using something else and somehow interfacing with OFBiz, or
are most end users not using POS at all?

Thanks Jacques!

I haven't had a chance to use POS in a real project, the data flow (relay) structure is amazing.

I think the POS is being replaced by Android/iOS App.

Kind Regards,

Shi Jinghai

A last note with a link to the related Jira issue

I must add that I have the XUI sources available so I will put all what I have in repo before removing the component.
At some point I created my own XUI version but the authors fixed it after.
I must also say that we had then any issues with XUI and it's still working perfectly for the POS.

More details onward at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-7804
