[OFBiz] Dev - Check entity in TestMaker script

Tue Jul 12 12:15:08 EDT 2005

That sounds great. I imagine there are various people interested in  
this now, and I am certainly one of them... It would be really great  
to get some infrastructure in place to user the Jython test scripts  
with OFBiz, and hopefully once that is done we'll start getting a  
good library of automated functional tests going...
