How to run the activiti source code?

[balaji1]

Hi,

1. We have checked out the source code from SVN and installed in SVN.
Can you please tell us how to build this source code?

ALso what will be the outcome of this process?

2. We have proposed to use activiti plugin for our porject. We need to customise the palette shapes and XML tags. Can you please tell us the process to perform.


Please help us to resolve to above issues. We are badly stuck up here.

What's in the Eclipse log or console? There must be an exception somewhere

Dev,

DEV,

THis is what I made my set up to palette project.

1. I created java project and did all the things as mentioned in the user guide
2. I added designer.inregration to my new project to remove the dependencies on service tasks.

Is that setup sufficient enuff?

Balaji,

please  follow the steps:-

1)There will a folder called .m2 in you documents and setting, inside that u will find org folder…it will be better if u delete it.(note:- this step is not mandatory)

2)Try downloading a fresh eclipse and install activiti in it through update site.

3)open a new java project

4)right click on this project, create two source folders with name src/main/java and src/main/resources.

5)Inside src/main/java create the class(let package be default) which we all have been talking since last 2 days…u will need *.designer.integration.* jar to remove the dependencies.

6)now right click on ur project and create a file with name pom.xml and fill it as mentioned in user guide.

8)take and pic,open it in paint and convert it into 16 by 16 file and save it somewhere as coins.jpeg.

9)now in you project right click on src/main/resources and create a new package with name icons.

10)drag ur coin.jpeg on this package.

11)save every thing u did…and go to command prompt…
12)from command prompt reach till your project which u have been creating in last 11 steps.
13)say "mvn clean" .
14)then mvn install.
15)If u carefully see the line executed my command prompt..some where in the end u will see money jar created somewhere deep inside ur .m2 folder.
16)now come to eclipse->windows->preferences->user lib…->  add a new user library called "Activiti Designer Extensions" and add the money jar in thtis user library.

17)now come out of it and open a new activiti project..make user user library is included in this new activiti project….and then open a new diagram…

18)wow u did balaji

DEV,
Do we need to download eclipse?
Because in the existing eclipse I have activiti source code in it. and I am launching new eclipse to view the output till now.(nt the palette output ).

Thanks

[dev1]

u having source code in the eclipse is not going to make any difference in adding a new palette…just give it a try..

DEV

[balaji1]

DEV,
Thanks, I too got it from your steps

But ONe question I have is in the present eclipse which I dont have Activiti BPMN update installed and I have only source.
I did the same procedure why there I couldnt see the output?

THanks

[dev1]
