[jwt-dev] Java Workflow Tooling (JWT) 0.5 Released
|
Hi all,
I am happy to announce that the latest release (0.5) of Eclipse Java
Workflow Tooling (JWT) [1], an OW2 friend project [2], has been finalized.
In this "compatibility and stabilization"-themed new release , the
Workflow Editor (WE) of JWT has been enhanced by several features, some
bugs have been fixed (see detailed release notes below) and the JWT
bundle now also includes new plugins such as new views (e.g. a view of
UML activity diagrams) or transformations (e.g. from JWT to XPDL). Find
more information about JWT and download it on
http://www.eclipse.org/jwt. JWT currently prepares to get integrated
into the yearly release train of Eclipse and will be part of Eclipse
Galileo in 2009. With several new committers and support by a new mentor
and more companies than before, we are looking forward to manage this
important step for our project.
I am also happy to announce that we deployed the newest version of
AgilPro (v1.5.0) on SourceForge. AgilPro is an implementation and
integration of JWT into a RCP application. It consists of a modeling
tool (AgilPro LiMo) as well as a previewer for modeled processes
(AgilPro Simulator). AgilPro LiMo builds upon JWT and includes
additional features such as BPEL code generation or the creation of an
HTML documentation from your workflow. The AgilPro Simulator enables to
preview your process without having a process engine installed. It is a
desktop tool which can open existing applications on your desktop PC
such as the Internet browser, Adobe PDF files, OpenOffice documents,
etc. The AgilPro tools are available under GPL at
_https://sourceforge.net/projects/agilpro_.
As last time, I'd like to say thanks to the whole project team for their
support and assistance!
If you have any feedback or comments, please don't hesitate to publish
them as a bug on the Eclipse Bugzilla (see _www.eclipse.org/jwt_
<outbind://26/www.eclipse.org/jwt>) or on SourceForge or contact us
under mailto: <mailto:jwt-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx>jwt-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx
<mailto:jwt-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx> or mailto:
<mailto:support@xxxxxxxxxx>support@xxxxxxxxxx <mailto:support@xxxxxxxxxx>.
[1] JWT provides open, extensible tools for the whole workflow
production chain. In addition to being fully usable on its own, JWT aims
to be a strong, compatibility-minded foundation on top of which other
actors (e.g. process engine vendors, information system integrators, but
also users developing their own workflow DSL) can build their tooling.
This will more specifically be the theme of the next (0.6) release.
JWT currently comprises
* a graphical Workflow Editor (WE) with Overview page, Business- and
Technical-level views, palette, outline and several wizards. JWT WE
allows for custom views, actions, additional editor and property sheets,
custom property editors and listeners, outline filters...
* Transformations that allow JWT-designed processes to be executable on
runtime platforms as well as compatible with other process formats.
Currently : Bonita XPDL, STP-IM, STP BPMN.
[2] OW2 Bonita is a supported runtime platform of JWT 0.5. SOA features
and OW2 Frascati-based SCA integration have being developed for JWT in
the context of the public funded SCOrWare project and will be released
in 2009 Q1, as well as demonstration scenarii featuring OW2 PEtALS.
Best regards,
Florian Lautenbacher & Marc Dutoo
