Activiti Designer 5.6 released

[trademak]

Hi all,

A new version of the Activiti Designer (5.6) is now available for download.
http://activiti.org/designer/update
http://activiti.org/designer/archived/activiti-designer-5.6.0.zip

This version includes:
- Added multi instance support
- Added support for Eclipse 3.6.2 (the latest version) by removing the multipage editor. You can now open a .activiti diagram and a bpmn20.xml file in a different editor.
- The support for syncing from the bpmn20.xml to the .activiti diagram has changed. By default, changes made in the bpmn20.xml file are not synced to the .activiti diagram. If you want to sync, you should remove the .activiti diagram and then it gets generated again when the bpmn20.xml file is opened
- Added Alfresco community edition support with process templates and specific Alfresco elements
- Added support for default sequence flow
- Added timeCycle and timeDate support
- You can again use keyboard shortcuts to for example remove an element or undo an action.

Best regards,

Thanks Tijs, That did do it. It is fixed now. Thanks for the prompt fix.

Also, I've noticed, In my two eclipse installations, The fix is working with 3.6.1 but not with 3.6.2. It is very possible that something is broken with my eclipse installation. I've posted another thread here

Hi,

The callActivity problem is a bug. I've committed a bug fix for this, so if you built the plugin from the source code this should be fixed.

Thanks,

Would someone be knid enough to provide instructions for how to build Designer from source and install to Eclipse ? This would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Sure, it's on the wiki http://docs.codehaus.org/display/ACT/Activiti+Designer+Developer+Guide

Same problem here, I have just followed wiki instructions and I have a workspace that compile and run the Eclipse plugin correclty.
I'd like to create an installable plugin for other Eclipse installations of the team: How can I do it ? I have run "mvn package" and I see in "org.activiti.designer.updatesite/target" the site.zip is it to use ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

If you do a mvn clean install (or mvn clean package) you should see a target directory being created in the updatesite project.
Don't use the site.zip but the site dir that's created. If you point Eclipse to that dir as a local repository, it'll install the plugin.
