Open Source Java XPDL editor

Open Source graphical XPDL Java Workflow Editor

Enhydra JaWE (Java Workflow Editor) is the first open source graphical Java workflow process editor fully according to WfMC specifications supporting XPDL as its native file format. It can be used to edit / view every XPDL file which conforms to WfMC XPDL specifications, does NOT use any proprietary XPDL extensions and is available in English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese and Serbian language already. But we are still searching for volunteers for even more translations... ! Feel free to contribute.

Advanced features like the consistency validation and guided property editor dialogs for all XPDL objects make it really easy to create valid XPDL files.

The representation of workflow participants as "swimlanes" in the editor graphics gives a comprehensive overview of process responsibilities.

In combination with Enhydra Shark, the Java XPDL Open Source Workflow Engine you get a complete workflow solution for embedded or standalone usage !
