| <p>The MoDiscoWorkflow plug-in proposes an extension point named "engine". </p> |
| <p>This extension point allows you to add a new type of Workflow. To do this, you define:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>a workflow engine, specified by the "workflowExecution" element</li> |
| <li>a workflow model item definition specified by the "workflowCore" element, to bridge the internal model representation with the MoDiscoWorkflow representation</li> |
| </ul> |
| <h4 id=".22workflowExecution.22_part">"workflowExecution" part</h4> |
| <p>This part defines: </p> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| <b>class</b>: The class which has to implement interface "org.eclipse.modisco.workflow.core.WorkflowExecution". It will bridge a MoDiscoWorkflow definition with the internal execution engine to run the specified workflow. |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| <h4 id=".22workflowCore.22_part">"workflowCore" part</h4> |
| <p>This part defines: </p> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| <b>name</b>: a name that describes the workflow engine |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <b>class</b>: a class which implements interface "org.eclipse.modisco.workflow.core.WorkflowModel". It will bridge the internal model representation with the MoDiscoWorkflow representation. |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
