jBPM Designer shouldn't be building jBPM from source every t

[mculpepper]

After debugging through the build log last night I realized that jBPM Designer is pulling down jBPM for every build and building it from scratch... wouldn't it be easier / faster to just depend on binaries either in the CVS repository, or possibly under repository.jboss.com?

Can the same binary requirement also be applied to jbpm.db?

Marshall,

The jBPM build process has been reviewed recently. The build used for 1.5 is still based on the old way things worked. The reason why the plugin pulls a complete jBPM out of the CVS and builds it is indeed that we did not store it in CVS neither in a repository somewhere.
The new way of doing things is based on the jBPM binaries being available somewhere locally, either build from source or pulled out of a remote repository, so that evolves in the direction you suggest. I suspect that the new way of doing things still implies a revision and some minor changes to accomodate for a smooth build of the JBoss IDE. I will work on that after New Year.

Cheers,
Koen
