A Solution to Extending Dynamic Web Project Wizard

Java Business Process Management (JBPM) is a popular open source Java workflow platform. Eclipse is used as the platform to host the jBPM Process Definition Language (jPDL) graphical process designer. JBPM provides an Eclipse plug in called Graphical Process Designer(GPD) to create and edit the jPDL source file. But a developer cannot create a comprehensive JBPM project that include both jBPM configuration source files and Web project files related to the workflow. This paper proposes a model to resolve Web Tools Platform(WTP) Wizard extending problems in JBPM. With this model, extending Dynamic Web Project Wizard is possible and can provide a JBPM Project Wizard. A JBPM developer can create a JBPM project including jBPM configuration source files and Web project files by following the JBPM Project Wizard. The wizard will save developers a lot of time. This paper shows the details of the model. An example is illustrated to explain the complicated aspects about WTP, meantime, we summarize the details that should be taken care of.
