I would like to get involved on the development prototype for Maven integration. I've worked with it in a few projects and I love it so much. But to be realistic I need more time to improve my knwoledge of the entire framework and Maven too in order to do a good work. I don't want to start the house from the roof but in the near future will be a pleasure support this initiative.
BTW, thanks Jacques, the diagram you sent before clarifies a lot the structure of Ofbiz and how the components are related to each other. I see a possible approach of Maven integration like this: Core: It include only the low-level layer. This would be perfect for people who wants the strenght of Ofbiz to develop other kinds of app's not related with an ERP. It can compete with the most common webapp frameworks pushed together. I'm talking about struts - spring(ioc) - Hibernate. It will mean more persons interested on the Ofbiz framework, so much more supporters and possible clients. Core + base applications: The ERP solution. Core + [base applications] + specialpurpose: Ecommerce, CMS, CRM, Workflow, etc solutions.
