[bpmn2-modeler-dev] Status for July 27, 2012
|
Hi all,
This week was spent mainly in refactoring some of the classes that render object properties. Code was refactored, moved, organized, stamped, stapled and mutilated! Here are the highlights:
* The code that implements the "List and Detail" pattern for rendering BPMN2 element properties has been cleaned up so it is easier to comprehend. Java generics were introduced to ensure that future runtime extension plugins will have an easier time with their implementations.
* This newly organized property rendering framework made it very easy to implement some of the simplified property pages for the jBPM5 runtime. For example, the process variable definition is now much simpler (just specify a name and "data type", a.k.a. ItemDefinition) and consistent across all BPMN2 elements that contain local variables (a.k.a. Property).
* Several bugs, which had not been found/reported earlier, were found and stomped out!
* We are continuing to publish weekly builds to the update site [1]. If you see something that was working before but is broken now, please, please, please, let me know ASAP! The helios update site [2] is also current as of this week's build.
Other stuff:
Roman Smirnov was nominated as committer to the project this week, based on his contributions for bug fixes and enhancements. Project members (you know who you are!) please log in to the eclipse portal [3] and cast your vote!
On the to-do list for next week:
* Continue the Property class refactoring work.
* Continue working on jBPM5 property sheets.
