1. Re: JBPM 3 or 4
kukeltje Jan 13, 2009 7:06 PM (in response to tbee)I know jBPM 4 will have a new API, so I isolated all API code and I should be able to migrate fairly easy.
Always a good choiceMy questions:
- Will jBPM 4.0 still be able to interprete the 3.2.3 XML process definitions?
No, but a conversion that will yield between 80-100% (depending on what you use) will be provided.- How stable is the 4.0 alpha? Can I migrate and demo?
Depends on what you want to demo...lots of things do not work yet, so I personally would not. What you can do is mention that jBPM is moving in the direction of taking the best of BPMN (e.g. graphical notation, terminology) and combine that with what jBPM is good at (flexible language under the hood in xml)
[
- Is jBPM 4.0 getting along quickly enough to left me hold off on this until it is stable? (Are we talking weeks or months?)
Weeks? No... hahaha... there are fixed releasecycles of 8 weeks, so expect alpha2 in 8, maybe a beta1 in 16, then another beta, a cr or 2 and final. So don't expect a GA release before summerhollidays... -

Thanks for the clear answers.
Not that I am happy with them, but still. :-) I will examine if 3.2.3 and 4.0 can be used along side each other, or if the packages overlap.
