Using Activiti without spring

[challengeactivi]

hi,

i just started using Activiti. I am using Eclipse.
I imported Jars from the Activiti program libs folder into Eclipse and crated a ProcessEngineConfiguration as described in the tutorials.

Doing:
  ProcessEngineConfiguration.createProcessEngineConfigurationFromResourceDefault();
OR:
  ProcessEngineConfiguration.
        createProcessEngineConfigurationFromInputStream(System.in);

Creates:
  Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.springframework.core.io.Resource

(I have the activiti.cfg.xml in the src/ directory)

Doing:
    ProcessEngineConfiguration.createStandaloneProcessEngineConfiguration();
Creates:
   java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.ibatis.transaction.TransactionFactory

Not sure why spring is required

Spring is not required, only spring-beans if you want to read the configuration from a file (activiti.cfg.xml). If you create and configure the PEConfiguration yourself, spring is not required.

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.ibatis.transaction.TransactionFactory -> nothing to do with spring, make sure you have myBatis as dependency on your class path.

import ibatis-core-3.0 in your project.
myBatis don't work with me.
See http://mavenhub.com/c/org/apache/ibatis/transaction/transactionfactory/jar
