Hi,

There is also something called OFBiz (Open For Business -
http://ofbiz.apache.org/) out there in the java world.
I think it may be considered as a very mature product but it needs to be
customized and it is the point were it can cost a little because it is not a
"dummy" project. There is just a big codebase (you can do everything with it
and many things are also implemented) and I think it is well written.

Bye,
Mimil
