Recent developments within the OFBiz community have resulted in the download distribution containing an ANT script to quickly and easily build new OFBiz Components and Applications.
Ensure the following prerequisites:
1. Decide on a name for the new Component. For example, if you want to call your new Component "myComponent" then the name will be
myComponent
.2. Determine if the Component will have an OFBiz Application (sometimes referred to as a "webapp") associated with it. Do you want to be able to log in to this Component? If so, then you will need to have at least one OFBiz Application associated with this Component.
3. If the Component is to have an OFBiz Application (a "webapp"), determine a name for this Application. For example, if you wish to call the webapp "myWebApp" then the Application's name is
myWebApp
.4. Navigate to the OFBiz install directory.
5. If OFBiz is already running, shut it down.
