Hot-Deploy in 16.11.04...and Later?

[stimits]

Hi
 
It was quite some time back (well, a year...that's like 7 dog years or 14 programmer years) it was announced that hot-deploy was being deprecated:
https://blogs.apache.org/ofbiz/entry/apache-ofbiz-news-march-2017
 
The directory still exists in 16.11.04. Would it be correct to assume that even if this still works it would better to make any customization in plugins (mentioned in the above URL)? And would this be true of custom component loads of data when nothing else is being customized, or is data load customization a completely different topic for building custom gradlew load targets?
 
Thanks!

Data loading is one topic, location of custom components is another topic.
In release 17 and later, there is no longer a hot-deploy, but only a
plugins folder to place your custom work.

As for data loading, it does not matter where you place your component, the
data will load anyway as long as you have the loading in proper order if
you have any dependencies on other data.

In order to be closer to how release 17 will be, would it be advisable to completely avoid the hot-deploy directory for now (this is limited to custom data loading)?

The hot-deploy order was removed after the release branch for 16.11 was
created, along with the removal of specialpurpose (now ofbiz-plugins in
another repository).

So plugins is available in trunk and the 17.12 release branch.

If you use 16.11, your custom components should be placed in hot-deploy.
When you move to trunk or 17.12, you can simply move the components into
the plugins folder.

Regards,

Michael
