Broadleaf Commerce Discussion Forums

I downloaded the source today, because I'd like to develop with it and contribute to it.

I must compliment you on the code and the available javadoc. I haven't seen that many projects with this level of javadoc.
This is also the case for the documentation on the wiki!

My compliments!

I'm afraid I'll have to disagree here...
The product is nice and I'm really thankful, though I ideally would have prefered a more homogeneous front-end/back-end solution (why flex as back-end when the front-end can't use it because SEO requirements?). It's more complex to maintain and requires different skills, so I chose to develop my own admin GUI from scratch (plain Spring MVC).

The code is clean and that it itself deserves the warmest compliments, but I would say the doc is THE weak point here. Hardly a line of comment now and then... and the javadoc is no miracle: it can't display more info than the comments in the code do.

The Wiki is doing better here. Nice to have the data model, and the development guides are of some help.

And one good point : you get a quick answer on the forum when you need help....

Thanks guys.

Yes, I was a little bit to hasty with my judgement.

The code is indeed nicely coded. Javadoc is not always as thourough as it could have been, but i've seen worse

About the flex admin; I don't understand your point about SEO requirements, but I do agree that it requires a completely new skillset to maintain. In one way that is a good thing, it's good to learn new things. But I was also planning to put my own spring mvc layer on top of it, because my Flex skills are not up to par. I plan to learn, but until then I use Spring mvc to create my own admin interface.

Any change you make your Spring mvc admin interface open source / add it to the project as a module ?
