On this page you can find information on how to use the applications of the Java Workflow Tooling kit. In addition to several introductive articles, also some of the more advanced topics like extending JWT's meta-model are discussed.

If you're looking for technical information on how to extend JWT using the defined extension points, this can be found at Extending JWT.

Introduction

This document shows the installation and usage of the JWT Workflow Editor (WE) process modeling tool. In addition we show how to execute and how to simulate or preview a process model.
