Importing processes from EPF into Jazz and some collab bugs
Hi everyone,
From the technical overview white paper... "Process descriptions authored with tools like provided by the Eclipse Process Framework can be deployed to a Jazz repository and be associated with existing process templates. They can then be viewed in the context of project areas whose process specifications have been derived from these process templates." I tried to look at EPF although it but the EPF Composer seems really confusing. I would still like to try and import/export something from EPF into Jazz though, how would I go about doing this? I do not see any import wizards for 'Process' from Jazz, how am I supposed to go about doing this? I tried to create a simple plug-in project and added all the *.process.* bundles as a dependency and poked around the extension points but couldn't find anything useful. Can anyone offer me any assistance? Is this not enabled yet? Are we doomed to define processes by hacking up XML files? Also, I noticed some bugs with Jabber integration via Openfire, but since 0.6M0 is rather old, I didn't want to file any bugs in case they were duplicates. Does anyone know if these have been resolved? 1. There are some synchronization issues since sometimes my coworker is online but isn't so on my screen, sometimes we need to go online/offline to reset, or maybe send the person a message first. 2. The first chat message is not actually sent although the IViewPart on the other person's workspace does pop up. 3. The TreeView on the right-hand-side of the 'Chat' view part isn't being rendered properly since the tree children of the 'Participants' tree node seems to be rendering a toString() call of the EMF generated ContributorImpl class. The text shown is 'Proxy of com.ibm....ContributorImpl...' Thank you for your time. Regards, Rem |

This support is not very polished yet, but the basic functionality is in
place. The "Process Template Explorer" view lets you create new process templates in a repository. The process template editor allows you to specify the path to an HTML index file inside an archive which has been uploaded to the repository. You can look at the Eclipse Way process for an example. It specifies the process content path as: "eclipse.process.ibm.com_description_V2.zip?/eclipse_way_published2/index.htm" A zip file named eclipse.process.ibm.com_description_V2.zip was uploaded to the repository using the Simple File Manager view (right click on a repository in this view and choose "Upload File..."). - Jared Remy Chi Jian Suen wrote: Hi everyone, |
Hi Jared,
First of all, thanks for the swift reply. What I did was download the zip file from the 'Simple File Manager' view and then I deleted the eclipse process and the zip file from the file manager. The zip file was named eclipse.process.ibm.com.zip. I could not actually find a eclipse.process.ibm.com_description_V2.zip in \jazz\server\ or \jazz\client\, where is it supposed to be located? Is this a latest-and-greatest thing which would explain why it's not in 0.6M0? Anyway, then I reuploaded the same zip (eclipse.process.ibm.com.zip) and created a new process. I then mapped the 'Process Content URL' to the same path that it was using in the built-in Eclipse Way. Next I created a new project using my uploaded Eclipse Way process. I clicked on the 'Process Description' and the page did load correctly. However, my process never did change and it only has a development phase whereas the Eclipse Way has a development phase and an endgame phase. Am I importing something incorrectly? How am I supposed to import and export a process in its entirety? I really do not want to edit XML files, but if that's how life is like right now, I'll just make do with what we've got. :) Kind regards, Rem Jared Burns wrote: This support is not very polished yet, but the basic functionality is in |
