List of Libraries used by OFBiz
This is the list of the libraries distributed with OFBiz, needed to build and run OFBiz in the default configuration.
However, in order to run OFBiz in a different configuration (for example a different database) or in order to activate some specialized plugins (for example the JasperReport plugin) you may need additional jar files in your classpath. Some of them are delivered with licenses not compatible with the OFBiz license, the ASL2.0, and (also) for this reason they are not distributed with OFBiz. You can find some of them here
. For details see the OPTIONAL_LIBRARIES file in the ofbiz directory from svn.
The official OFBiz license files, included in the trunk, are the following ones:
Some notes on licenses
We can use and include libraries licensed with any BSD/MIT like license including Apache, etc. We can also change and redistribute these libraries.
We can use and include libraries licensed with SPL (Sun), MPL (Mozilla), and similar licenses. We cannot change these and redistribute the changes though. These are a combination of the GPL and BSD licenses and make a distinction between "Covered Code" and "Larger Works". If we change the code the changes must be SPL/MPL/whatever licensed, but we can use the libraries unmodified just fine.
We can use, but can not include, libraries licensed with LGPL. The licensing quirk here is that we can write code that uses the libraries but can't include (distribute) the libraries themselves. This means that we have to have the build.xml files out of the box with exclusions for these source files. For each one we should document which jar files are needed, where they can be obtained, and which build.xml file(s) need to be changed to compile the Java files that depend on them.
We cannot use nor include libraries licensed with the GPL. The use and distribution restrictions are simply too tight and there is no way around them.

Due credit should be given to the JDBM Project | updated; however, this comment by Peter Goron is worth of consideration: "Jdbm doesn't seem to be an active project anymore. Maybe we must start thinking about another project to manage ofbiz cache stuff to avoid to have to maintain this stuff ourself. I've heard some interesting features from ehcache project (ehcache.sourceforge.net) like distributed caches and scalability." |
