saving customised data for import as demo data?

[ryan-116]

Somewhere in the docs and tutorials I thought I had seen a description
of how to re-integrate one's customisations of the demo data back into
the build/run-install process.  I cannot seem to find that info again now.

Is there a succinct procedure to
* export the customised demo data
* re-import this data into a clean install?

I should rephrase this: how do you re-import from within the build-file
or from the cli? i can successfully re-import using the Entity
Maintenance UI....

Add a entity-resource entry  of type "data" and reader-name as "ext" in
ofbiz-components.xml  of your application. For example:

<entity-resource type="data" reader-name="ext" loader="main"
location="data/GeoData_IN.xml"/>

And run the "run-install-extseed" ant target instead of "run-install".

This should load your modified data along with the seed data and without
any demo data.

Hope this helps.
