What is it?

Apache OFBiz is an enterprise automation project written in Java. It bundles a framework of libraries, entities, services and reusable components together with business applications covering ERP, CRM, e-business and e-commerce, supply chain management, and manufacturing resource planning. It is intended as a base for building enterprise systems rather than a finished product for every company.

The project runs on JDK 17 and is built with Gradle. A quick start downloads dependencies, loads demo data and launches a server with an embedded H2 database, with web interfaces for order management, accounting and administration. Other databases such as MySQL and PostgreSQL can be configured, and the project supports multitenant setups, data loading tools, a plugin system and Docker deployment.

OFBiz is split into the core framework repository and an optional plugins repository. Packaging produces tar or zip distributions for production servers, and the project includes integration tests, dependency vulnerability scanning and a remote debug mode.

Key features

  • 01Covers ERP, CRM, e-commerce, supply chain and manufacturing resource planning in one codebase.
  • 02Runs on JDK 17 with Gradle-based build and startup tasks.
  • 03Works with an embedded H2 database by default and can use MySQL or PostgreSQL.
  • 04Provides a plugin system and multitenant data loading.
  • 05Can be packaged as tar or zip archives for server deployment, or run in Docker.

Use cases

  • Building a custom ERP or order management system on a Java foundation.
  • Running an e-commerce back office with order, accounting and admin interfaces.
  • Extending an enterprise system through plugins and custom components.
  • Evaluating an open source alternative for supply chain and manufacturing planning.

Quick start

  1. 1

    Download the Gradle wrapper (Unix-like)

    ./gradle/init-gradle-wrapper.sh
  2. 2

    Clean system and load demo data (Unix-like)

Things to know

  • Requires JDK 17 to be installed and JAVA_HOME set.
  • Initial setup can take a long time because all dependencies must be downloaded.
  • The loadAll step deletes existing data and resets it to demo data.
  • Running on Windows requires PowerShell 7.1.3 or later and no spaces in the install path.
