Try It Now

 

Have you ever wanted to try out some of the Red Hat products but did not have time to download, install and configure them?  If this is you then you are exactly the person we would like to provide feedback on new Beta functionality we are trialling, working with Codenvy to support the deployment of a JBoss EAP 7 instance running within a browser-based IDE.  The beta launches Eclipse Che IDE, JBoss EAP 7 and the kitchensink quickstart thus allowing you to edit, build and debug applications from within the comfort of your browser.

 

Evolving Business Rules from your Processes

 

Business processes often benefit from rules for example using conditional events, sequence flows or executing business rules however they suffer from having the lifecycle of the long running processes coupled to the lifecycle of the shorter running rulesets, until now that is.  With the introduction of a new Business Rule Task and Remote Business Rule Task it is now possible to decouple the rules being executed from the process, allowing the rules to evolve independently of the process.

Writing a Book using Continuous Integration

 

It may sound like a strange use for CI but why should writing a book be any different from developing code?  There are many benefits to developing a book using CI as Clément ably argues based on his experience of developing a mini-book about Eclipse Vert.x.
