How do deploy a process from the Eclipse Designer?

[cs1]

Hi,

When I follow the instructions in the manual to deploy a process, I'm not seeing a "Deployment" option on the right-click menu like it says:

http://activiti.org/userguide/index.html#eclipseDesignerEditorFeatures

A basic deployment editor is available when right-clicking on an Activiti diagram in the package explorer. You see a Deployment property at the end of the pop-up items. The deployment editor currently supports saving a BAR file, and will be extended in the next release to also deploy the BAR file to the Activiti engine.

Any ideas? Is there another way to do this, I'm not quite sure how to build a .bar from the Designer.

Thanks

Oh, I see…

1. Go to the Package Explorer (not to be confused with the Project Explorer)
2. Right-click on the project and select "Create deployment artifacts"
3. The .bar file will then be created in a folder called "deployment"
(you may need to refresh the view before it appears)

Go to Window -> Show View -> Package Explorer

Update: You first have to install Eclipse and the Activiti Eclipse Designer, not sure if that was clear or not. See http://activiti.org/userguide/index.html#eclipseDesignerInstallation

Update: also, if you're using 5.2 under Windows, there is a bug that inserts an \ in the paths in the .bar file. you have to unzip, and rezip the bar files w/o the \. See http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ACT-625
