Abstract
As a community based project, ADempiere sourcecode and model design is open to anyone to modify and reuse. For various industries will require different and disparate behaviour within the model. In order to manage it in the best manner, the community has decided to maintain a separation between what is core from what is extendable. Only what is of common and universal use across any vertical is accepted into core. What is particular to a certain industry has to be outside the core. That behaviour can only be extended via an approach described here.
Model Validators
Extensions will be integrated using model validators.
