Unable to find ofbiz.jar file

laxmiraghu
Recently i downloaded ofbiz 9.04 version for windows.

I installed mysql and java 6 and set the JAVA_HOME variable.

I unpacked the ofbiz downloaded zip file to C drive. It created a directory 'apache-ofbiz-09.04'.

As per the documentation, i went to the above directory and executed 'startofbiz.bat' command.

But it gave the following error message.
C:\apache-ofbiz-09.04>"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_21\bin\java" -Xms128M -Xmx
512M -jar ofbiz.jar
Unable to access jarfile ofbiz.jar


It's unable to find ofbiz.jar file.

I also searched for ofbiz.jar file in entire apache-ofbiz-09.04 folder. It's not found.

Where can i find that file? Hope it's part of the downloaded zip file.

Please help.

you have to do
ant run-install
that will generate the jars.

the zip contains the source code and supporting builds.
depending on your intent you can build and install demo data
or
build just a seed implementation and build your own data.

In reply to this post by laxmiraghu
Hi Laxmiraghu:
Unfortunately, the project recently decided to change the way OFBiz is
distributed. And, they pretty much forgot to tell anyone. The jar file
is no longer part of the distribution as it was as recently as 6 months
ago. You MUST now build OFBiz prior to startup. The build process as
described in various locations around the community will create all the
necessary jar files.

For more information on this including very simple build instructions,
you may download my free document "How To Get OFBiz Code (Release 9.04)"
at http://www.myofbiz.com/cms01

BTW, inclusion of the necessary jar files could change any day since the
decision to do such things appear to be arbitrarily arrived out by the
project commiters or whoever is responsible for setting up the builds.

Good luck.

Ruth Hoffman

Re: Unable to find ofbiz.jar file

BJ Freeman
Ruth I think your confusing the Nightly builds
http://ci.apache.org/projects/ofbiz/snapshots/ofbiz-rel9.04-current.zip
  with the Final Release(apache-ofbiz-09.04.zip)
http://ofbiz.apache.org/download.html#release-09.04 .

the Final release has not changed it format. it is the code minus all
the svn tags for versioning. it also has a check sum to validate you
downloaded the full zip file.

up till the final release of 9.04(zip) there were only the branch and
nigthly builds.
The Branch is source code only and access via the svn.
the nightly builds are compiled and have the demo data loaded.
http://ci.apache.org/projects/ofbiz/snapshots/
as you can see you can pick dates of nightly builds.

Re: Unable to find ofbiz.jar file

Ruth Hoffman-2
Hi BJ:

Perhaps, but as recently as 4 months ago - one could go to the
"official" download page and get a build already packaged with the jar
files and the seed data loaded. (Personally, I don't care what that
build was called. It existed and was easy to find by following the
download links). I wrote extensively about it for some time. Then, one
day, I went to the "official" download site and lo-and-behold - things
had changed. Too bad because the fact that stuff was already packaged
and ready to go was a great selling point.

All I can say is that if I was a little surprised at the turn of events,
I can only imagine what potential users without much exposure to how
things are done here, would think.

Anyhow, it doesn't really matter.

Regards,
Ruth

Re: Unable to find ofbiz.jar file

BJ Freeman
the reason the nightly builds were hidden is for the very reason you
express, they are for testing and debugging not for official release.
I gave you the link to them. I use them for the demo-trunk that I support.

Re: Unable to find ofbiz.jar file

Ruth Hoffman-2
Hi Jacques,

Now that you've brought up the topic, I wonder why most of the other ASF
projects provide jar files with their distributions? In fact, most
others provide jar (or other binary) files as the primary and first
download link that you find when navigating to the project's ASF website.

Just curious as to how someone here came up with the current
interpretation of the ASF rules on releases and then went ahead and
organized the "official" download page as it stands today.

Regards,
Ruth

Ruth,

All of your questions can be answered by searching the dev mailing list.
There is no need to repeat it all here.

In reply to this post by Jacques Le Roux
ASF rules don't prevent us from distributing jars, all they do is require that the official release distribution contains the source code (not necessarily "only" source code).

Hi Adrian:

In spite of your opinion to the contrary, this question was never
answered to my satisfaction on this list, the dev list or anywhere else.

Thanks for your help, however.

Re: Unable to find ofbiz.jar file

Scott Gray-2
OFBiz is easy to install:
ant run-install
so I don't personally see the need to increase the download size by precompiling it.

The issue as I see it are that the post-download instructions are incorrect.  If the instructions are part of the distribution then the only way we can fix it is by creating a new minor release.

Scott

Re: Unable to find ofbiz.jar file

BJ Freeman
In reply to this post by Ruth Hoffman-2
lets assume for a moment that the jar files are provided.
and they do a startofbiz
what will happen?
lots of errors and support as now.
Ok lets assume we also install the demo data.
now we are ask how to remove the demo data and install for production.

ofbiz is not the standard App you find.
In my opinion, the way it is setup up the basic question like started
this thread, can be answered by pointing people to the correct docs.

Until there is sufficient documentation to take someone through every
single step with diagram and screen shots, as wall as a end-user FAQ.
we will have support questins. Oh wait Microsoft spends thousand of
Dollars to do this for Word yet everyday they get support calls from new
users on how to setup.

why you could even write another book about it.

Re: Unable to find ofbiz.jar file

rajsaini
Should it not be possible to load the demo or seed data without using
Ant? It think it is possible using startofbiz.sh or startofbiz.bat file.

Most of the  other Apache project provides a binary only and source only
releases. And this reduces the size of the tar balls and people can
download what suite them better. Problem with OFBiz is there is a no
binary only distribution as compiled code stays within the source in
build folder. Ideally, all compiled jars should be moved out to lib
after building the jars. This should be possible by tweaking the build
scripts. I have this in my mind for long and hopefully, I will get some
time soon and work on it.

Thanks,

Raj

Re:Setup of ofbiz, was Unable to find ofbiz.jar file

BJ Freeman
can you name me a project that has the option to load demo data or Seed
(production data). for that mater can you show me a app that initializes
the db structure, as ofbiz does?

as far a ant, the effort should be to move installation into the Setup
component, with screens to ask you which setup you want, production or
demo. it should lead you through the technical setup.
see
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBTECH/Apache+OFBiz+Technical+Production+Setup+Guide

Then you have the setup for the type of business one runs.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-3852

so first you use derby to do initial setup then after you setup the
Entityengine.xml the setup to that stage is transferred to the new db.
however ofbiz would, first, need to do a cold reboot and initialize the
new DB.
Oh yes this setup is usually running on a remote server.

feel free to contribute.
