In the preceding screenshot, we selected the
Evaluation
project in the
Project Explorer
view, by clicking first on the
jbpm-playground
repository and then in the
Evaluation
project. Once in the project editor (which will open once you select the
Evaluation
pro-
ject), we click on the
Build & Deploy
button to actually compile the project content and
publish it on an internal Maven repository.
Once a project is deployed, it becomes a component in the engine that feeds process
definitions that can be executed to our environment. We call this engine configuration the
process runtime
. In a sense, the process runtime is just a preconfigured environment for
jBPM6 to execute processes already connected to all external systems and humans.
A process runtime should be configurable, that is, we should be able to include all the dif-
ferent configurations to make sure the environment is going to run the process definitions
in the way we want. To do so, we can edit the
kmodule.xml
file of the projects we are
creating. To do so, we need to select the
Project Settings: Project General Settings
to
see a drop-down menu and select
Knowledge Base Settings
inside the
Project Editor
tool. The following screenshot shows the
Knowledge Base Settings
editor:
