Workflow API

Installation

Using the Imixs Workflow API is mostly easy as the API is provided as a framework that consists of only a few java libraries. Depending on your needs you can add these libraries to your java application to use the api. The Imixs Workflow API exclusively uses interfaces and classes contained in the SDK standard of Java. So extensions and additional libraries are not required. This allows using the framework within every java environment.

You can download the latest version of the Imixs Workflow API from the java.net download page.

Note:
The Imixs Worklfow Project contains a great deal of technologies which helps you building your own workflow application. If you want to start with a full featured JEE Workflow Management System you can download the Imixs JSF Sample Application from the java.net download page or you can start building your own JEE Workflow application using the Imixs Maven Artefacts.

If you are working with Maven you can also start with the Imixs JSF Archetype which gives you an easy starting point for a JEE Application.
