Dependencies

This release is based on the Eclipse 3.2 Callisto release. This is important because it provides a solid foundation for future Taylor releases. Up to this point I have had to spend a lot of time just upgrading to each Callisto milestone. The following JBoss components are supported:

• AS4.0.4GA-SP1 with EJB-3.0 RC8-FD
• EJB-3.0 Embeddable ALPHA 8
• Seam 1.0.1GA
• Portal 2.2.1-SP2

The following other Taylor components are utilized:

• taylor-commons-0.0.2
• taylor-bpm-0.0.1
• taylor-tracker-0.0.2

[edit]

New Features

• Dynamic Templates for overriding and adding new templates. This is very useful for working around template bugs.
• Message Driven Beans are generated from activity diagrams to create business processes. This utilizes Taylor Bpm, which is based on my JDJ article AOP-Enabled ESB. This is stable, but still a work in progress. So please feel free to use it and ask questions on the forum.
• Tabbed Properties have been added for the most common properties.
• JMX profile and templates are provided for defining MBeans with JBoss annotations.
• EJB-3.0 Embeddable ALPHA 8 supports Security, so the security configuration is generated for junit testing.
