Eclipse Stardust 4.0.0 (Neon)

Primary tabs

  • Overview
  • Release Plan
  • Review Information(active tab)
Description: 
  • Engine Error Code Message Enhancements

  • Document centric Access Control Evaluation

  • Newly introduced Properties

Architectural Issues: 

Project Stardust has a modular architecture strongly based on established Java technology standards and leveraging standard components wherever feasible (see the corresponding section of Graduation Review documentation for more information).

Stardust offers many hooks to extend and customize functionality by implementing Service Provider Interfaces (SPIs). See[1] , [2] and the examples given in [3].

Eclipse modeling functionality is heavily leveraging functionality provided by other eclipse projects, most notably EMF, GEF, WTP, JST, JDT. Public APIs were used where possible. All residual usage of internal interfaces is documented in Bugzilla and will be reviewed in later releases (see references in Bug 402286).

 

Security Issues: 

No Security issues.

Non-Code Aspects: 

All currently present project, infrastructure and user documentation has been improved. You can find us on YouTube with tutorials.

Usability Details: 
  • All eclipse modeler UI components were designed and implemented in the spirit of the Eclipse User Interface Guidelines

  • Usage of Stardust eclipse modeling functionality is facilitated by Cheat Sheets.

  • Browser portal and modeler functionality user interface is following similar principles but had to be adapted in some respects due to the technical requirements of html 5 components

End of Life: 

Deprecated Functionality
The XML Data type integration is deprecated and will not be provided in the Eclipse modeler in future releases. You can use the External Reference structured
data type instead, which is equivalent to the XML Data type, with the difference that it supports XSD schema exclusively (no DTD specification). Please refer to
section Using External XSD Types of chapter Defining Structured Types for details.

API Changes

  • The following API changes have been performed with this release:
  • New WorkflowService spawnPeerProcessInstance method is introduced with changed parameters
  • New policy to include or exclude historical data from process instance detail queries
  • New PropertyProvider interface method

Deprecated API

  • is described in detail in the releasenotes.

More details are available in the releasenotes.

Standards: 

The Stardust release supports, is compliant with or is based on the following standards:

  • BPMN 2.0 (process diagram format)

  • XPDL 2.1 (process model serialization format)

  • EJB 2.1 (supported for engine deployment as well as embedded applications).

  • EJB 3.0 (cupported for embedded applications)

  • JMS 1.1

  • JCA 1.5

  • JPA 2.0

  • ECMA 262 (JavaScript)

 

Communities: 
  • Stardust is already used in academia (e.g. Stevens Institute Hoboken, Technische Hochschule Mittelhessen)

  • A rich Wiki with more than hundred articles has been created.

  • Over 100 topics were discussed in the Stardust User Forum

  • YouTube Channel

  • Eclipse Stardust Facebook page

 

This release is part of Neon.
