Plugin: ZK Enterprise Components

• Creator: James Chu
• SPONSOR: zkoss.org
• License: This plugin is licensed under the GNU GPLv2 or later. The plugin source code itself does not include ZK EE.
• Source: GitHub repository
• Dependencies: This plugin depends on ZK EE, which are commercial products and are not covered by this plugin’s open-source license. Users must obtain valid licenses for these components separately for production use.

Description

• This plugin enables iDempiere implementors to use ZK Enterprise (EE) components in iDempiere without modifying iDempiere core. It is designed as an optional add-on: you can install/uninstall it as a standard iDempiere OSGi plugin.
• ZK EE requires a proper commercial license/subscription from ZK. iDempiere core uses ZK CE by default. This plugin is intended for implementors who have ZK EE access.

Features

• The fragment project provides ZK EE component libraries (e.g., zkex / zkmax) to the iDempiere runtime as an OSGi add-on.
• (Optional) Example UI / Form to verify ZK EE components are resolved and working at runtime.
• Keep iDempiere core unchanged (plugin-based integration).

Installation

• Download the release / install package from the GitHub repository.

• Install the generated OSGi plugin + fragment into your iDempiere runtime (same way as other plugins). Note: A server restart may be required after installing fragments in some environments.

Usage

• After installation, open the included example (if any) from the iDempiere menu and verify ZK EE components render correctly.
• If you want to use ZK EE components in your own windows/forms, add dependencies on this plugin and develop as usual.
• Demo builds may include evaluation versions of ZK EE for demonstration purposes only. A valid commercial license is required for production use.
