						Currently we are working on several transformations: building on a transformation base plugin
						it is now possible to transform the JWT-model into <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/stp/bpmn/">BPMN</a> 
						or to generate <a href="http://www.wfmc.org/standards/xpdl.htm">XPDL</a>-code. 
						These transformations are already part of JWT since version 0.5.
					</p>
					<p>
						We are also working on other transformations such as from 
						<a href="http://www.eclipse.org/stp/bpmn/">BPMN</a> to JWT, from JWT to 
						<a href="http://www.eclipse.org/stp/im/index.php">STP-IM</a>, etc.
						These transformations are currently tested and first versions will be released soon.

			<h3> JWT to BPMN</h3>
			<p>
			The Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) is a standard of the <a href="http://www.bpmn.org/">Object Management Group (OMG)</a>.
			It allows to model business processes independently of their technical realization using several constructs. BPMN has currently version <a href="http://www.bpmn.org/Documents/BPMN%201-1%20Specification.pdf">1.1</a>,
			but version <a href="http://www.bpmn.org/Documents/BPMN%202-0%20RFP%2007-06-05.pdf">2.0</a> is already under development.
			The STP <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/stp/bpmn/">BPMN modeler</a> builds on BPMN 1.1 and using our transformations one can model a process in JWT and
			transform it into BPMN. Shortly a transformation the other way round will also be available.
			</p>
			<p>
			The following shows the same process in both modeling languages. First, we show the BPMN process model.
   			<div align="center">
   			  <img align="center" src="/images/BPMN-sample.png" border="0" alt="BPMN process"/>
   			</div>
			Exactly the same can also be modeled with JWT:
   			<div align="center">
   			  <img align="center" src="/images/JWT-sample.png" border="0" alt="BPMN process"/>
   			</div>
		</div>	

		<div class="homeitem3col">
			<h3> JWT to XPDL</h3>
			<p>
			Besides the above described model-to-model transformation, we also allow for model-to-text transformation. It is possible to
			transform the modeled JWT process into the <a href="http://www.wfmc.org/xpdl.html">XML Process Definition Language (XPDL)</a>.
			This cannot be shown graphically of course, you need to test it yourself! The generated code has been adapted to the process
			engine <a href="http://wiki.bonita.objectweb.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/">Bonita</a>, but other process engines will be supported soon, too.
