Welcome to Apache OFBiz!
All you need to run OFBiz is a 1.7 (version 7) JDK (not just the JRE, the full JDK). http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
You can load the demo data (strongly advised if you are new to OFBiz) with the following command on the command line from the OFBiz home folder (in Unix-like operating systems type "./ant" rather than "ant" to use the embed ant version if you haven't installed it on your system) :
ant load-demo
Then start OFBiz:
ant start
(or "java -Xms128M -Xmx512M -XX:MaxPermSize=128m -jar ofbiz.jar") (you can also run directly "ant load-demo start")
Once OFBiz starts, you can look at the demo storefront at: http://localhost:8080/ecommerce
the back office at: https://localhost:8443/ordermgr
and the administration interface at: https://localhost:8443/webtools
You can log in with the user "admin" and password "ofbiz".
To stop OFBiz:
ant stop
To get the list of available commands:
ant -p
You will also find several platform dependent scripts in the "tools" folder (for example for Windows and Unix-like operating systems, the startup scripts are startofbiz.bat and startofbiz.sh).
Note that the default configuration uses an embedded Java database (Apache Derby) and embedded application server components such as Tomcat, Geronimo (transaction manager), etc.
