Brian Fitzpatrick commented on JBIDE-5591:
------------------------------------------

Just confirmed with Kevin Conner via IRC that we're doing the right thing by extending AbstractActionPipelineProcessor:

(09:24:41 AM) bfitzpat: hey Kevin...
(09:24:58 AM) bfitzpat: for custom actions, should we be implementing AbstractActionPipelineProcessor by default or something else from the ESB editor?
(09:33:26 AM) Kevin Conner: You can either extend that class or implement ActionPipelineProcessor 	  				 	 	 	   	 	  	   		  	 
(09:33:45 AM) bfitzpat: is there a benefit of one vs. the other? we're just trying to jumpstart the user
(09:33:50 AM) Kevin Conner: Extending it is probably a good idea, as it has empty implementations of everything except the process method
(09:34:02 AM) Kevin Conner: That's what they would normally use
(09:34:28 AM) bfitzpat: ok. so extend AbstractActionPipelineProcessor then, not ActionPipelineProcessor (just confirming)
(09:35:05 AM) Kevin Conner: If you implement the interface then they need to specify 5 methods
(09:35:17 AM) Kevin Conner: If you subclass the abstract then just one
(09:35:22 AM) bfitzpat: I'm a firm believer in KISS. ;)
(09:35:27 AM) Kevin Conner: Sounds good :)
(09:35:39 AM) bfitzpat: ok. thanks Kevin. that's what we've done, just wanted to confirm!

> Requesting option to create ESB action.  Without this, I always have to go to the quickstarts and copy a default action because I can't remember what interfaces each of the actions have to extend, what methods they have to implement, and what the constructor has to be.
> Would be nice to right-click on source dir in jBPM and ESB project (or from File menu) and select:
> New | Other | ESB | ESB Action
> I think it would save new users even more time, because they may not know to go look in the quickstarts to find a template action to copy.
