[jbpm-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBPM-1372) Verify that IzPack based distribution is complete

[ http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBPM-1372?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugi... ] Tom Baeyens commented on JBPM-1372: ----------------------------------- what is the purpose of the installer ? i see 3 potential targets: 1) deploy a jbpm installation into a version of jboss. what are all the things that the installer should do? * add a jBPM queue to the JMS message service ? * add a jPDL DB * populate jPDL DB with example processes * add identity DB * populate identity DB with example users * configure a security domain * put the deployment artifact (the war?) in the deploy folder this is what we now have in an ant target somewhere. given that this is part of the simply unzippable suite distribution, i don't really see the urgent need for this. 2) install the jpdl-suite in a file system, which includes the jpdl lib, sources, docs, a preconfigured jbpm server and the eclipse plugin currently this is just unzipping the distribution. so i don't see the need for an installer here 3) installing the gpd into an existing eclipse installation. i think the eclipse update mechanism would be better for that. currently we have a feature distribution package that can just be unzipped in an eclipse. Koen is now working together with Kris on a joint new designer. That seems to be working great. In the meantime, the problem with the milestone versions of the designer dependencies has disappeared. So in this new designer, the standard eclipse versioning mechanism can and will be used. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
