Dear Community,
I am happy to finally announce a new release of the JPDL designer. You can download it on
the source forge download pages :
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=70542&package_i....
The release was built and tested with WTP 1.5.1 and all its drivers (Eclipse SDK 3.2.1,
GEF 3.2.1, EMF 2.2.1, JEM 1.2.1). The distribution comes in two flavours: a regular zip
file containing all what is needed to install the designer in a clean Eclipse environment
and a 'nodeps' flavour that does not contain any additional plug-ins taken from
WTP, GEF or EMF. You can use this nodeps flavour if you have already an Eclipse
installation containing these drivers. To install it, simply extract the archive file over
your Eclipse installation or use the Eclipse link mechanism.
As you might or might not know, the 3.1.x stream of the jBPM JPDL designer is based on an
entirely new core model. The purpose of this new model is to enable full JPDL support that
was lacking until now. The 3.1.x stream is targeted at jBPM JPDL 3.2 and above with
backwards compatibility for older JPDL versions. However, the UI will not prohibit the
user to use 3.2 features.
This release is an alpha release, containing code that is quite usable but not yet fully
stabilized. Known problems exist when using the XML source pane to edit the process
definition and switching back to the graphical view. A solution to these issues will be
part of a future release. The purpose of this release is to gather feedback from the
community concerning some of the new things that were introduced:
- Use of the tabbed property view to edit the different properties of the JPDL elements
- A JPDL perspective
Have a look at the release notes in the distribution or online
(
https://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=477988&group...).
Comments on the layout of the different forms and occupation of the screen real estate
defined by the perspective are more than welcomed. Please post comments here on the forum
and don't hesitate to file issues and bugs to JIRA
(
http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/GPD).
Have fun,
Koen
