It all started some while ago over the integration of POSterita (another breakaway distro from early days) back into ADempiere. Read this record 111+ replies thread here. Then I tried to divert from the burning bush to the centre ring in the arena, but i myself came under more fire. So i am forced into a truce here. After some relative calm, an englishman fired up a small stove. This prompted a seeming plot that is still not cooled off at press time. But notice there my shrewd change of tactics. I changed sides!
Mortal combat in olden days do not last this long because, well, you really die from wounds. But not these virtual spats. As long as your keyboard has keys and your router does route, your fingers aren't crammed for tapping small horizontal spaces. And some probably do it vertically while lying in bed.
But all seemed well today when our greatest hero whom you either hate him or love him is to be overwhelmingly loved when he released these latest gems.
It was another close call and more action to come, as we have lost sight of our competition - Compiere and OpenBravo seems to stay away from the top rankings for quite some time now. There will be more days when ADempiere again turn on itself for game. To relieve its boredom on the upward march to overcome proprietary software's hold on ERP space.

Redhuan,
This is a bit of a sensationalism of the discussion, and may be frightening to those beginning to investigate Adempiere.
The so called 'fight' was just a developer discussion on how the manage the source code repository. These types of debates rage every day in every software company. It's just that in closed-source environments these forums are not open to the public.
Bottom line is that the differences of opinion will be resolved as they always are, and the team will go on working together-- more strong for having come to terms with a complicated issues.
