Hello community, recently I hear this conversation about manager asking to evaluate ADempiere Libero

“Steve, could you evaluate ADempiere Libero for me? This products is awesome”

“How to get this stuff”, Steve asking

“Simply, you can check out their source code both for ADempiere and Libero and then build by yourself”.

“Build by myself? Any guidance to build this source”

“Find it at their wiki”

Learning processes is about a passion. While you have a strong desire, then all of your resources shall be work to achieve this goal. And the important point is, ask to God to give us an easier understanding to all of stuff we learn about.

This is my activity while learning common ERP and ADempiere:

• Improve skills and knowledge at common business processes
  With our working experience, I was starting my career and worked at a banking industry as a junior administration staff. During this tenure, I have learned a lot of things related with basic and intermediate accounting. As a bank employee, I am earning a lot of banking system operational and procedure by attending its educational program.

  Six years later, I tried to find a new challenging task to be working as an Information Technology staff. For the first 3 years, I worked as a junior developer at this company. With this years, I found many things to improve our analytical skills to build a better software using Borland Delphi. The good things comes then. I was introduced to the ERP system and this ERP is Intentia Movex and or Lawson M3 (Intentia successor). Our company try to implement this system, and we have a couple of Intentia Movex/Lawson M3 consultant in house (external consultant).

  With previous assignment, I just a programmer. But, for the ERP it self, I have a responsibility to handle a second level support of functional module like accounting, manufacturing and logistic after our primary internal consultant. Okay, for accounting parts, I can follow it. The problems then comes while talking manufacturing and logistic parts. Oh my God, I have no experience at all! Attending manufacturing and logistic sessions are a nightmare. I have no industrial engineering background.

  Struggling with this condition, and try to keep attending this session, gradually I know about ‘what they are talking about’. This is invaluable experience. With all of ERP activities, then I have a knowledge about how business running.

  In the middle of ERP implementation, our company implemented a project management software, Fastreact. Again, this is great experience, because I just appointed as an internal Fastreact consultant.

  Then, for my reference, I was studied ADempiere both for accounting, costing and manufacturing parts.

Hello everybody, Happy New Year to all of you. I wish, in this new year, we can have a more prosperous life. And hope we can share and spread our mercy.

In todays talks, we will discussing about ADempiere NoClassDefFoundError while applying our customization. Recently, I had a duty to applying bug fixing which not patched yet in the ADempiere previous version (342s. — means ADempiere 3.4.2 stable version –).

ADempiere current trunk, has a lot of new features and bug fixing which made ADempiere ERP even better and better. But, applying current trunk bug fixing to previous version is a challenging tasks. It’s not just about merging the source code only. There are so many things which needed carefully attention, like ensure that applying this fixing will not break ADempiere 342s core functionality. So I have to make sure to merge the proper codes and test this new codes accordingly.

I just realized that, they were so many activity to “broke the wall” which need to be done to ensure this patch working properly.
