This is a Chinese translation of the jbpm3.12 framework User Guide of JBoss. My translation style is a comparison between Chinese and English. I only translate some of what I think is important. I do not translate simple English, so as not to waste your time.
At the same time, I will explain and write down some of the content in the translation.

Use the local site update method for deployment.
- Eclipse feature (jbpm-GPD-feature-<version>. Zip ):If you are tired of each time having to do a fresh eclipse installation and you are willing to have 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 supported 'ins ins' 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 can 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 cocould happen that the versions of these colliding plugins are not equal, hence the possible incompatibilities. the installation instructions are repeated in the 'readme.html 'file.
