ofbiz framework for non ERP use

[jignesh]

Is it advisable to start a new non-ERP project using ofbiz ?
If yes, Is anybody already doing it?
If no, what are other alternatives?

[Jacques Le Roux]

Sure, a lot of project are not using the OFBiz framework for ERP building, a lot are in the eCommerce business for instance.
The most noticeable and known example being Atlassian Jira (they mostly use the Entity Engine)

Although you'll never see it, I did a transaction logging system for
mainframe monitoring using just the entity engine some years ago.  Works a
charm.  Took me 4 days to write compared to the six months for the buggy
system it was replacing.

That might be a quick start point since ofbiz is really a good full stack
framework, but actually i think the business logics in ofbiz is the most
valuable part and hence is a main reason we choosing it.

If we treat it as a pure technology framework, then you might have more
chooises like playfrmework etc, but if it is treat as a business
development platform and if you could reuse those business logics, that
would help you even much more.

If it were just the framework you were wanting to use it might be useful to
look at David's Moqui framework http://www.moqui.org/framework/index.html
