SDK 2 and workflow changes

[mmrvelj]

I am using SDK 2 with Eclipse as described here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utYZaVe9Nd0

What I notice that if I want to change custom workflow definition file *.bpmn20.xml, it seems that I have to restart Alfresco project. Since this takes some time, I would like to know if the restart can be avoided?

I am using Alfresco 5.0.c community.

Hello,

in older versions of Alfresco (Community) it was possible to avoid a restart by using the Workflow Console (part of Explorer UI) to upload newer version of BPMN20 XML files for Activiti. Unfortunately, since Alfresco 5.0.b, the Explorer UI has been removed and with it the Workflow Console. So at the moment - unless you write your own tooling for online upload - restarts can't really be avoided when using the Spring bootstrap approach for workflow definitions.
