[OFBiz] Users - Separate Framework

[cjhowe]

I think he was referring to framework has a dependency
on party.  And then party has a dependency on product.

There is a better approach to this than adding the
applications back  
one at a time and that is to trace down the data
dependencies and do  
something about them. There shouldn't be any
references to Party or  
Product in the framework (a Party slipping in I could
imagine, but  
Product doesn't make much sense). This is the bulk of
the technical  
work that needs to be done for the framework
separation, ie tracing  
down dependencies.
