Michael Brohl commented on OFBIZ-7534:
--------------------------------------
Just a short opinion about the database part: I think the build tool should not be responsible for checking the database connection. That should be part of the startup sequence (and is).
I think the learning for a developer will be quick if he once forgets to configure his database right and has to wait until some timeout occurcs and the startup is terminated. So, with regard to the huge amount of other tasks, I suggest to leave this as a minor glitch for later (or any volunteer ;-) ).
