[jwt-dev] Open source Eclipse plug-in based on JaWE&Shark
|
YAPROC is a new Eclipse (one moth old) plugin that embeds
JaWE & Shark with many nice features like reporting, process viewer
at runtime, activity management, graphical history,... and compatible with the XPDL 1.0 specification.
Now, YAPROC becomes an open source project under the LGPL v3 license terms. Maybe you can re-use some parts in your project.
The plugin, documentation, sources and online demos are available from
www.upversion.com
Likely a very interesting feature for you is the VirtualDB that allows you to integrate differents java technologies into a jdbc driver. It's not a technology from me but I adapted it to be successfully used to integrate Shark into a new complex UI.
Based in my experience with Shark (which has a quite complex API) and YAPROC (which has a quite complex UI) I would separate UI issues from communication workflow issues. Mybe you have done this exercise but If not I would like alert to you about potential design limits to build a complex and usable UI based on a workflow communication layer when required functionality grows and grows.
I think now is too soon to implement this kind of solutions in JWT because your actual UI is quite basic but maybe in the near future if you develop new plugin views and you need to relate many of them and many complex filters would be required to show a lot of information in the Eclipse Workbench in a coherent manner, so maybe this problem arises and you need to resolve it. In this case, VirtualDB is a very suitable technology to solve this kind of problems.
Best regards,
Pablo.
