Plugin not compatible with Springsource toolkit

wolpert — Tue, 21 Dec 2010 21:36:50 GMT

The Springsource tool suite (STS) variant of eclipse will not run the activiti plugin. Specifically, STS 2.5.0 mostly worked with the plugin, as you could create a diagram but couldn't export the XML file. STS 2.5.1 made it impossible to create a diagram at all.This is not unique to Activiti Designe

We know that there are some issues with the version of the plugin dependencies, so most probably will be the problem with STS.
For now it's best to use Eclipse Helios Classic to run Activiti Designer.

Hello,
I am currently deciding the implementation of a BPM engine in a project.
We have decided to use Activiti BPM (against JBPM or Intalio for example) for their skills (customization, integration with Spring,…) but this issue is blocking, since the IDE used is the Spring Tool Suite (based on Eclipse JEE).
I have seen this issue quite some time, there is a plan to fix this issue in the coming months?
Without this assurance I will feel having to go to JBPM

Hi,

Supporting the Spring Tool Studio and JEE Eclipse is difficult because we then have to test against multiple Eclipse versions.
And because the JIRA issue about STS support has only one voter and we don't see the request for support that often, it hasn't been solved yet.
But if it's an important feature for you, we can certainly look into this.
Can you assist in doing testing for this? I'll be able to test if the installation of the Activiti Designer is successful, but detailed testing would be helpful.

Best regards,

Hi,

We've changed the dependency management of the Activiti Designer and now it's compatible with the Springsource toolkit.
The next release of the Activiti Designer (5.7.1) is scheduled on August 15th, together with the Activiti 5.7 release.

Best regards,
