If you are new to OFBiz or come from an OFBiz version which uses Ant for building and now want to use a newer version with Gradle, here is the documentation you are looking for
Step-by-step guide
- If you used to run one of the download-* Ant targets (download-PG-JDBC, download-activemq, download-mySQL-JDBC) those have been removed.
See if interested in more details - If you use your own custom libs (jar) shared by several of your own components you might put these libs in the lib folder just under the OFBiz root folder.
You will find a README there with more details. You might also read for history reason. - It's clearly documented in the README.MD and below, but you might be interested to know that the debug port is now the standard 5005 rather than previously the OFBiz specific 8091
- If you are interested by all the changes done in the context of the Ant to Gradle migration please check
.
Gradle documentation
The documentation bloc below is the HTML import of the conversion of README.MD into HTML by Pandoc using this command line locally in root folder (you need to checkout the tools branch in your ofbiz folder)
pandoc README.md -s -o tools\wiki-files\README.md.html
Here is README.md.html in the repository that you are reading below
