OFBiz Development SVN r5336

63 new commits this week. SVN 5336 builds and installs successfully. However, there is a non-fatal bug with sending email notifications which can cause OFBiz to generate a lot of error messages. You may want to apply this patch for the time being.

Significant changes this week

1. New segments screens in marketing
2. New pages for viewing relations, wsdl, ecas, and executing direct SQL statements in web tools.
   
3. New examples component with sample entities and services
4. Lots of enhancements in catalog manager and order manager (see below)
