What you need for this book

You will need the following software to be installed before running the code examples:

jBPM requires JDK 6 or a higher version. JDK 6 or newer versions can be downloaded from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html. There are installation instructions on this page as well. To verify that your installation was successful, run java –version on the command line.

Download jbpm-6.2.0.Final-installer-full.zip from http://sourceforge.net/projects/jbpm/files/jBPM%206/jbpm-6.2.0.Final/. Just unzip it in a folder of your choice. The user guide (http://docs.jboss.org/jbpm/v6.2/userguide/jBPMInstaller.html) includes instructions on how to get started in a simple and quick manner.

The jBPM setup requires Ant 1.7 or later (http://ant.apache.org/srcdownload.cgi).

The additional required software is as follows:

Git 1.9 or later (http://git-scm.com/downloads)
Maven 3.2.3 or later (http://maven.apache.org/download.cgi)

The preferred development IDE to run the examples is the Eclipse Kepler distribution, which can be automatically downloaded and pre-configured with the BPMN installation process.
