Re: [jwt-dev] exporting and feeding to own workflow engine.

[Marc Dutoo <marc.dutoo@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Muasir

Other approaches :

What's your engine ?
Is it compatible with any executable process language ? If yes, you can 
use the right JWT Transformation to this format (ex. XPDL), or code it 
as a plugin if it doesn't exist yet. There you could even call your 
engine's remote deployment apis to get "one click deploy" as Mickaël says.
If you don't have any engine yet, consider OW2 Nova Bonita and its OW2 
Scarbo SOA-ready integration which are well-integrated with JWT.

Beyond "one click deploy", what are the process engine control features 
or user interface you'd need in Eclipse ?

Regards,
Marc
