That's up to you and what you requirements are, I'm afraid.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>2. You're free to alter the engine code, we have an Apache 2.0 license. You can even make a coffee-machine out of it with some imagination. Offcourse, any usage of internal non-API classes can result in forward-incompatibility with future version of the engine source-code on your side.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>3. There are currently no plans for supporting simulation in the engine itself.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Wed, 24 Apr 2013 10:00:35 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/engine-abstraction-for-simulation-engine/m-p/135529#M95086 frederikherema1 2013-04-24T10:00:35Z Re: Engine abstraction for simulation engine https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/engine-abstraction-for-simulation-engine/m-p/135530#M95087 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Thank you for answer.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>It is possible.
