Activiti Designer Integration

[zoikks1]

Hello - we're looking into upgrading our use of Activiti to 5.16.3.  We've written some custom service tasks (classes that extend from AbstractCustomServiceTask) that utilize version 5.14.0 version of the org.activiti.designer.integration artifact.

I've been reviewing the versions in GitHub for org.activiti.designer.integration (https://github.com/Activiti/Activiti-Designer/tree/master/org.activiti.designer.integration) All the versions since 5.14.1 of the org.activiti.designer.integration artifact contain a SNAPSHOT on the version name.  Even the versions placed in the branch contain SNAPSHOT.

I have two questions relating to this:

1 - Does our upgrade to Activiti 5.16.3 require (or even recommend) us to use the latest version of the org.activiti.designer.integration artifact?

2 - Are the snapshot versions stable to use (5.16.0-SNAPSHOT, 5.15.0-SNAPSHOT)?  Typically, the SNAPSHOT versions are bleeding edge development and isn't always proven.

Any insights on these two questions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Where do you see these snapshot version? I don't see them directly

Normally, the designer does not rely on snapshot versions.

Hi - thanks for the reply.

Here is where I was seeing the SNAPSHOT version:

https://github.com/Activiti/Activiti-Designer/blob/activiti-designer-5.15.0/org.activiti.designer.in...

It is under the tags.

Hmm i see. I do think it's an error and it should not have the snapshot tag.

I'm a bit confused and new to this but my reading of a comment in another thread indicates to me that -SNAPSHOT in all the poms is correct.  See  this posting from last year: <url>http://forums.activiti.org/comment/15993#comment-15993</url>
