第二章 开始

本章将带你如何获得JBoss jBPM的第一步并且提供立即运行的初始提示 .

2.1. 下载包一览

下面是当前可用的不同jBPM包清单. 这些包中的每一个都包含一个或多个可下载的文件. 同这些文件一起的包含一个描述它的内容及相关安装的指示

所有下面下载的描述都可以在 the sourceforge jbpm 下载页面.上找到

2.1.1. jBPM 3

这是主要的发行包,包括了主要核心引擎和数个额外的你使用jBPM的时候可能用得上的包.下载这个包的文件从 这里.

2.1.1.1. 新手工具箱

如果你想尽快开始运行jBPM,那么这就是你想下载的文件.工具箱包含了所有jBPM的模块以及图形化的设计工具在一个单独下载的文件里名字为: 'jbpm-starters-kit-.zip'. 展开这个压缩文件到目录下阅读'readme.html' 获取更多信息. 有了这个工具箱,你可以立即开始进入  第三章 讲座.

2.1.1.2. 核心引擎和身份组件

下载文件名为 'jbpm-.zip' 包含jBPM 核心引擎也包含角色和组管理的身份组件. 开始工作前, 展开文件到一个目录下,然后 'jbpm-'文件夹下找到包含重要的参考信息的'readme.html'文件

2.1.1.3. 数据库扩展

如果你想改变jBPM的默认数据库( Hypersonic HSQLDB), 你需要下载这个包. 文件名为'jbpm-db-.zip' 包含你改变数据库需要的各种资源. 包含, 数据库建立脚本, hibernate 属性文件及数据库JDBC驱动程序. 如何操作的步骤包含在 'readme.html' 文件里,它在你展开这个压缩包的最上层的目录下.

2.1.2. jBPM 流程设计器

The second package contains the downloads related to the jBPM Graphical Proces Designer. The designer enables you to author your process definitions and to easily deploy them. You can find these downloads here.The designer is a plug-in for the Eclipse platform which is available for download either as a zipped Eclipse feature or as a zipped Eclipse update site. There is no difference in content, the only difference is in the way you have to do the installation.

2.1.2.1. Eclipse 更新站点

If you want to be absolutely sure that the designer installation goes smoothly, we recommend to use the update site mechanism together with a new Eclipse installation. Of cource the Eclipse version should match the downloaded update site archive. To obtain the Process Designer Update Site, you should download the file 'jbpm-gpd-site-.zip'. Then follow the instructions in the 'readme.html' file included in the archives root folder to succesfully install the GPD.

2.1.2.2. Eclipse 特性

If you are tired of each time having to do a fresh Eclipse installation and you are willing to cope with some possible issues, you can try the feature download. In this case installation is as easy as extracting the archive into your Eclipse installation (make sure the included 'plugins' and 'features' folders end up in the same location of your Eclipse installation) overwriting the files and folders with the same name that are possibly already present. This installation is very easy, but you could run into incompatibility issues when you overwrite plugins already present in your installation because of other features that you did install. Though they have the same name it could happen that the versions of these colliding plugins are not equal, hence the possible incompatibilities. Download the file 'jbpm-gpd-feature-.zip' to obtain the GPD feature. The installation instructions are repeated in the 'readme.html' file.

2.1.3. jBPM BPEL 扩展

第三个也是最后一个包包含jBPM BPEL 扩展. 它只包含一个文件: 'jbpm-bpel-.zip'. 你可以找到这个包 在这里 .要开始BPEL扩展,在doc目录下找到User's Guide .
