Compiere - Beginning of the end!

Compiere Inc. has very strange understandings for free:
http://compiere.com/support/service-packs.php
Is there a charge for downloading these service packs?
The Service Pack is free of charge for customers on Standard and Extended level support subscriptions. For 2.6.3, the Service Pack is also available to customers on Self-service Support Subscriptions at no charge.


Acording to the post all is free, but user must have subscription...

We at ADempiere are totaly free as our migration and bug fixes which are more than 500 till now are free even for non subscribed users.

One big THANK YOU to Compiere Inc. for leaving the battle field OPEN SOURCE to ADempiere and other forks.

It is a bit insincere to let Compiere leave the battlefield for us.

I always hope that one day Compiere returns to its throne up the hilltop of the battlefield. We can always be its community as long as it accepts all our contributions and never closes up.

Compiere Inc. still do not know how to make developer friendly environment

I work with Compiere and it's fork Adempiere since 2.5 years. During all this years till Adempiere was born i had big headache each time new version was produced by Compiere Inc. because of the lack of proper Eclipse IDE setting. I had to manually set project setting inside Eclipse for all Compiere ERP-CRM sub-projects. This process took around 1-2 hours if all source files were provided by Compiere Inc. There were cases when Compiere Inc. forgot for given class and source were non-compilable. A recent post from Enrique Ruibal reminded me about this past headaches: https://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=4679608 Adempiere() is much more mature and developer friendly project. At least i'm trying to keep all IDE setting up to date and working. Good luck

Automatic Invoice Printing/Emailing in ADempiere

Recently i was involved in business process automation with ADempiere. Goal was to make most of the processes as automated as possible. With this post i would like to share my experience in Automatic Invoice printing and email sending to the end customers. Out of the box ADempiere comes with a process called " Print Invoices ". It is located under " Quote-to-Invoice "->" Sales Invoices " in the main menu. "Print Invoices" process parameters This process has few parameters(non of them is mandatory). Most of the parameters allow user to filter which Invoices to be printed based on: date range of Date Invoiced, Customer, Specific Invoice or Range of Invoice numbers. Top two parameters " EMail PDF " and " Mail Template " change behavior of "Print Invoices" process and turn it into email sending process. Note: If you tick "EMail PDF" check-box then "Mail Template" parameter is also mandator...

Compiere vs. ADempiere: Count of Partners

ADempiere project is one year old now, more precisely 13 months old. Before one year father project Compiere had around 60 partners, which was quite good number. Each partner was obliged to pay 3 000 USD per year which made 180 000 USD income only from partners. Today Compiere has 32 partners and each pays 8 000 USD = 256 000 USD year. It looks that Compiere Inc. managed to increase it's income, but number of partner dropped by half. It is Compiere inc. decision how much to charge for partnership, i'm not going to discuss this now. But it is very interesting observation that although income from partners increased Compiere Inc. decided to close source code access to Service Packs and push users to pay for it. It looks that only money from partners are not enough for the Inc.. Well it is again Compiere Inc. right to decide how much to charge for access to source code and how much not to charge, but users can see that functionality which ADempiere provides get bigger and bigger e...
