## Overview

OFBiz Plugins is a set of optional enterprise extensions for the OFBiz framework, with e-commerce as its most prominent product capability. This tree samples several separate workflows rather than one end-to-end application: web requests, LDAP authentication, content/product search indexing, and developer reload tooling. The graph preserves those distinct branches and includes other visible plugin domains. Edges are limited to relationships shown in excerpts or the source index; most ecommerce internals and other unsampled plugin wiring cannot be established from the supplied evidence.
