Hi,

What is the version of the eclipse project in getting started page (the workspace download)?
How ca I update to the latest version? I don't understand maven very well from it's docs and I don't have time to search google for tricky things so I set up my project as a stand alone project which I can control.

Eventually you will probably have to learn some things about Maven in order to use Broadleaf. We rely on Maven heavily internally.

Updating to the latest version of Broadleaf is simply modifying the root pom.xml in the property "broadleaf.version" declared near the top of the file. This will also tell you the version of Broadleaf that you are currently on. The latest GA version of Broadleaf is 2.1.0-GA, and the latest snapshot version is 2.2.0-SNAPSHOT.

However, while this is theoretically all you need to do to upgrade the framework, there might be some changes you need to make on your site as well (bean name changes, refactorings in the codebase, etc). For the latest up-to-date version of the demo site you can check the 'develop' branch of https://github.com/BroadleafCommerce/DemoSite. We also have a section in the docs for migrations: http://docs.broadleafcommerce.org/2.2/M ... Notes.html
