--------------------------------------------------------------
We are evaluating JBPM as workflow engine for a large project. I used it before, some
years ago, and advised to use it again now.
Today, after experimenting a bit with JBPM 5.2.0, my gut feeling is that it might be wiser
to go for a 3.x version.
These are the reasons:
1) The demo screencasts are out of synch with the packaged software:
- in eclipse the demonstrator is using perspectives that just aren't installed in the
download
- the guvnor screencast immediately goes to a view that's totally different from what
I see
=> Because of these differences it's not immediately obvious (to me) what the demo
is trying to show
2) There isn't any literature available yet about the software
3) It is distributed with a h2 database, which nobody will consider using for a serious
project
=> No complete documentation available to migrate to mysql, see:
https://community.jboss.org/thread/164547?start=0&tstart=0
https://community.jboss.org/thread/164547?start=0&tstart=0
4) Because of the dependencies on jboss AS 7 (totally different from jboss 5) and
drools/guvnor the learning curve is much steeper then before ...
I'm very interested on the opinion of the JBPM experts on this, and looking forward to
their reactions to this post ...
