Follow these instructions if you want to build jbpm4jsf and get started playing with it now (it works with the recently-released jBPM 3.2.GA). I wrote these instructions for UNIX-like environments (like Linux or [possibly] Cygwin), but it should be pretty obvious how to do this in Windows. You must be using JDK 1.5 or better.

1) Check out the jBPM and Gravel sources from SVN.

svn co http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/gravel/gravel.1/trunk gravel
svn co http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbpm/jbpm4jsf/trunk jbpm4jsf

2) Build Gravel.

cd gravel
ant all
cd ..

3) Create a build.properties.local in jbpm4jsf for Gravel.

cd jbpm4jsf
echo 'lib.gravel.local=../gravel/target/gravel.jar' > build.properties.local

4) Build jbpm4jsf and the taglib documentation.

ant jar tlddoc

Once you have followed these steps, you can deploy the resultant jbpm4jsf.jar file (from jbpm4jsf/target) with your jBPM application and try out the various tags. The taglib documentation will be in "jbpm4jsf/target/docs/tlddoc/index.html".

If you discover that any actions are missing that you'd like to see, post them to this forum and we'll discuss it.
