Hi all,
based on past comments in this list I'd like to add that this is a
pre-built release (e.g. the objects and Derby demo database are already
set up and packaged in the distribution); we did this because it can
take up to 20 minutes (with slower hardware) to build the whole project
from scratch and this could waste too much of your (and that of the
persons that just want to give a look at it) time.
However, if you want to play with a clean source distribution (for
example, if you want to run the RAT tool etc...), just run the
"clean-all" ant script: all the objects and the db will be removed.

The OFBiz podling (PPMC and community) has reached a consensus
internally approving the 4.0.0 TS5 test snapshot release. We are now
requesting a vote for review and approval from the general Incubator
group and the Incubator PMC.
The current incubation docs recommend doing this sort of "test snapshot"
release, and it appears from recent conversations that this will most
likely soon be required for all podlings nearing graduation. Based on
our experience this has been a valuable exercise and through these 5
tries we have made significant improvements to the legal and other
aspects of OFBiz and eventual releases. You'll recognize most of this
from the similar message I sent on September 22nd for our TS3. Thanks to
feedback from various people (especially Robert Burrell Duncan and the
RAT tool) we have corrected many license header issues and fleshed out
the NOTICE file, which are now both hopefully up to par.
The intent of this "release" is not to be something that will be
maintained over time or used be end-users of the project, and there is
no branch for it in SVN. Our goal with this test snapshot release was to
create an initial release process and make sure that all of the
artifacts are in place as needed. This includes:
- all license headers and copyright notices in place (ASL2 headers)
- no remaining old copyright notices or headers
- NOTICE, LICENSE, KEYS, et cetera files in place
- test proper zip and tgz files, plus the md5 and asc files for each
- put README file and other such things in place to make it (hopefully)
easy for an end user to run OOTB
Based on what has been established as part of this test snapshot
experience we plan to do a real release (version 4.0.0) after graduation
with a branch and such that will be maintained over time and that is
meant to be used by end-users, but those (again) are not the intents of
this test snapshot release.
The files for the release are available in my people.apache.org account,
see the links below for detailed locations.
