These two days in evaluating jbpm and activiti, you need to install a Activiti designer plugin to try it out.
First, online installation
From "Activiti combat" learned that can be installed by the following ways
Open Eclipse, Help, Install New software-> Add
Then follow the dialog box below to enter:
http://www.activiti.org/designer/update/
Follow the next step next, may be my network is not good, follow-up in the download from the Activiti official website always prompt failure, tried several times not, so consider whether you can be offline to install plug-ins.
Second, offline installation
As the above-mentioned online installation method is not feasible, start looking for offline mode. Baidu, this way is feasible, as long as the implementation of the download of the corresponding offline package, can be a jar or zip format. and found
Http://www.activiti.org/designer/archived/is available in various versions of the offline package download, Then downloaded the 5.18 version of the offline package, and then in the above dialog box, just no longer enter the URL, but instead of selecting the Zip offline package has been down, as follows:
Then the next step is to install it.
Here is a question to note, as I have already used the online installation in the first step, so even if I choose the offline package, the subsequent installation of eclipse will try to download from the network, so you need in the Install New Software dialog box select " avaible software Suits ", in the Pop-up dialog box, select the resource of the HTTP path just now, delete it, and then use the offline installation, then the offline installation package is really used.
