jBPM

Jboss has released jBPM 3.0, a workflow and BPM engine that enables the creation of business processes that coordinate between people, applications and services. With its modular architecture, JBoss jBPM combines development of workflow applications with a process engine. The JBoss jBPM process designer graphically represents the business process steps in order to facilitate a strong link between the business analyst and the technical developer.

JBoss jBPM includes the following components: Runtime engine as a POJO library, a graphical desiger as an Eclipse plugin, persistence based on hibernate, a web console in JSF, a BPEL extension for orchestration, scheduler for timers, business calendar, and more.
