How to create a new component in Apache OFBiz latest version 16.11.01?

Does someone know how we can create a new component in Apache OFBiz latest version 16.11.01. Earlier it was using ant create-component to create a component but the new version uses Gradle.

Solution

  • The new command is:

    gradlew createPlugin -PpluginId=myplugin

    where myplugin is the name of the new component. Please refer to the README.md file in the OFBiz home folder for further details, in the section "Create a new plugin". Once the component is created, you should load its data (required to grant access rights to the admin user); you can easily do this by loading the demo data of OFBiz with the command:

    gradlew loadDefault

    You can also delete the component with the command:

    gradlew removePlugin -PpluginId=myplugin
