Is Activiti Modeler available yet?

[feiya200]

I don't see this part in the download package. Wonder if it is available now?

Congrats with having the very first question on our user forum 🙂

The setup build.xml script includes a target that downloads the modeler.  The demo.setup target installs a full demo environment, including the modeler.   Good luck.

Thanks for pointing it out Tom! I did a test run for the package and the ant build went smoothly.

I also tried to draw a process in the modeler and it saved to *somewhere*. Is there a way to download the process xml file from modeler so it can be used for deployment afterward?

I know the intention of activiti is developer-friendly. I guess it is fine for developers to deploy programmatically. But just out of curiosity: any plan for a dedicated deployer app?

My company uses SoftwareAG's webMethods and I am just kinda exploring lightweight open source bpm alternatives here.

the process models are stored on your files system in some dir in the activiti home dir.  i think it was inside the apps dir.  we still need to doc that isee.  thanks for pointing that out.

for deployment, there is also an ant target. http://activiti.org/userguide/index.html#N101C1

Extactly, the process models are stored in the ${activiti.home}/apps/activiti-model-repository folder.
