[jbpm-dev] Re: Please review the BPM API

Hi Tom, in Munich we agreed on a roadmap for a stable public API. We have a direction and path we follow. This path leads us from simple to complex until the API covers the full BPM functionality. The roadmap is documented in JIRA and for convenience in the Wiki as well http://jbpm.dyndns.org/jbpmwiki/index.php?title=JBPM3APIStatus Please comment on the specific road map items * 1.1 Engine Shutdown * 1.2 Basic Node Sequence * 1.3 Basic Activity * 1.4 Execution Context * 1.5 Basic Transition * 1.6 Multiple Transitions * 1.7 Fork Nodes * 1.8 Join Nodes * 1.9 Process Instance Metadata for the 1-Sep-2008 target. During this week (i.e. before jira freeze) we can rearrange stuff, add and remove items. After jira freeze the road map is binding for the next release - details about the release procedure are here http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=138199 AFAICS, there is no alternative roadmap laid out that lead to a stable API as is required for our BPM product. Again, lets be specific and not divert from the agreed path. The target for 1-Sep-2008 is coverage of basic functionality. Coverage in design, implementation, documentation and automated testing. cheers -thomas Tom Baeyens wrote: > I don't think this is leading to something that I can agree with.
