[jbpm-dev] [Design of JBoss jBPM] - Re: First look at jBPM4 Alpha1

Thomas, Good review. I tend to agree with most of what you write although I've only downloaded it yesterday, so I did not try much yet. I definately agree on the namespace thing ;-) and regarding terminology, I tend to agree as well but with some small remarks. BPMN terminology is not always 1-1 mappable on jBPM terminology, or e.g. a drop-in replacement. Therefor I think it should be introduced slowly and since it will not be 100% BPMN, there will be discrepancies. The join/fork comment I agree with (although it takes getting used to, so initially we should mention the 'old' term i n braces as wel), regarding the events etc, lets introduce them slowly and see where it leads us. On thing I think differently about though anonymous wrote : I would recommend not to mix task and gateway (just yet). Let the user draw a task with a single outgoing flow followed by a gateway. A condensed notation can always be added later when the individual components reached enough stability (i.e. after CR) I think that not doing this would result in a lot of misunderstanding with the current users. They are so accustomed to having this that if we have the intention to support this condensing, we should do it now. It should be a little more explained then I agree what the behaviour is.
