Alfresco Workflows and Eclipse

[wit]

Hi, I'm beginner in Alfresco. I know there is possibility to create Workflows in with Eclipse jBPM Process Designer Plugin - and then integrate them into Alfresco.

Ok, I have installed that plugin, wrote some workflow - but how can I get it into Alfresco? I have read all different manuals - but haven't find solution

I don't ask for big explanation, but for link to it.

Hi folks,
this thread has been really interesting and helpful for me. I have been struggling to get jBPM setup with eclipse for some time now.
Currently i am using eclipse europa version but swimlanes tab isn't visible…. can anyone of you tell me the exact version of eclipse and jBPM cobination that works perfectly fine?

I guess i am not getting the right eclipse version to work with. Please help.  :cry:

Thanks.

Hi,

we are new to Alfersco.
I was trying to create custom workflow using JBPM console in Eclipse.

I did the following:
1). i downloaded jPDL Suite 3.2.3 suite.
2). manually pasted org.jbpm.gd.jpdl_3.1.3.SP2.jar in D:\Ecllipse\plugins folder.
3). i did following in Eclipse
      a). i got JBossJBPM in windows/preferences
      b). i set Runtime Locations (in JBossJBPM) to a place where i extracted the JPDL suite
4). i created a process designer in eclipse.
5). now i did the following for deployment:
     a).     server name : localhost
     b).      server port  : 8080
     c). server deployer : /alfresco
     d). click Test Connection - successful
     e). click Deploy Process Archive

I did the above steps. but i could not see any custom workflow in algfresco workflow listing.
could you please tell me, how to proceed to get the workflow in alfresco ?

Thank you.

Regards,
Hansraj

I am missing all the tabs except Diagram and Source. I followed the instructions at http://docs.jboss.com/jbpm/v4/userguide/html_single/#graphicalprocessdesigner to install the graphical designer in eclipse but there is no deployment tab. Do I have to use an old version of eclipse and an old version of jboss to get this to work?

I got it working with Eclipse 3.4 ( Ganymede ) & jbpm-3.3.0.GA.

Hi ckrishna4,

Your issue does not appear to be directly related to this topic ? Please create a new post (under the "Content Modeling" forum) with additional details including the content model that you are trying to activate and additional details (eg. exact test steps and version of Alfresco, including release/build #).

Thanks,
Jan
