jBPM 6 process tutorial for eclipse?

Question

I am looking at the jBPM user guide and try to create a custom process to start playing. I am trying for example to setup a process which starts with a signal event caused by another application's message. While my intuition says this should be something trivial, I cannot find such an example. The jBPM documentation on events is not very verbose and is not accompanied by any examples. Moreover, the jBPM eclipse plugin documentation does not provide any examples of process building and the Eclipse BPMN2.0 modeller documentation provides only broken links.

Could you suggest any tutorials on jBPM process design using either one of the respective eclipse plugins (jBPM eclipse plugin or BPMN 2.0 modeller) from a developer's perspective?

Answer 1

There are two books that might help you: jbpm5 and jbpm6 developer guides. You can also look into the jbpm-bpmn2 module in the git repository that's where all the bpmn2 constructs are tested. After all the best doc is the source code and the tests :)
