OFBiz Premier League – Reviewers Choice Award

[taher]

Talking in passive voice to say your work is not recognized is ungrounded.
Also saying a product requires continuity implies that OFBiz is not so
which is false. OFBiz is witnessing massive changes lately which is an
indicator of a healthy and vibrant community. In this ML I am interested in
hearing about OFBiz, not your fork, I don't care for it nor do I find it
interesting on a technical level.

I recommend ignoring this discussion as it smells like trolling to me.
Let's continue with the great work that's happening.

Again I reiterate my gratitude to the folks at hotwax for the fantastic
work they've done lately and real value added with the surge of commits to
the code base. Thank you all.

Taher,

That's really a shame. Just as you were typing this, I was going to contribute all of our work.

But I guess that's fine - the change to gradle was something a lot of people were really yearning for ;)

I was curious about all the progress Taher has been talking about, so I downloaded all releases from the website and ran a comparison of all the noticeable changes. For comparison I took a look at the catalog manager, so that I could sense the progress made.

Here's the result:

- Release 4 does not run (StringIndexOutOfBoundsException)
- Release 09.04 does not compile (incompatible types)
- Release 11.04.06 does not compile (org.ofbiz.widget.ContentWorkerInterface not found)
- Release 12.04 - 16.11 run

After taking a few screenshots, I made a fancy comparison chart (actual screenshots shown):



Hi-Res versions of the screenshots available on request.

The biggest change from running the systems must be gradle - which changes the syntax significantly, the load order and general structure was kept the same, however.

Cheers

P.S.: Curiously, apache 4 did run in parts, though the error would lead to partial-renders of the screen. If interested, I can share the result here, too
