What’s an Integration Stack?
JBoss Tools Integration Stack 4.2.1.Final / JBoss Developer Studio Integration Stack 8.0.1.GA
The Integration Stack for JBoss Tools Developer Studio is a set of plugins for Eclipse that provides integration tooling for the following frameworks.
JBoss Business Process and Rules Development
-
BPEL Designer - Orchestrating your business processes.
-
BPMN2 Modeler - A graphical modeling tool which allows creation and editing of Business Process Modeling Notation diagrams using graphiti.
-
Drools - A Business Logic integration Platform which provides a unified and integrated platform for Rules, Workflow and Event Processing.
-
jBPM - A flexible Business Process Management (BPM) suite.
JBoss Data Virtualization Development
-
Modeshape - A distributed, hierarchical, transactional and consistent data store with support for queries, full-text search, events, versioning, references, and flexible and dynamic schemas. It is very fast, highly available, extremely scalable, and it is 100% open source.
-
Teiid Designer - A visual tool that enables rapid, model-driven definition, integration, management and testing of data services without programming using the Teiid runtime framework.
JBoss Integration and SOA Development
Note - the SOA Development tooling category has both released and early access components. Consequently, you will see it in both the release install dialog and the early access install dialog.
-
All of the Business Process and Rules Development plugins, plus…
-
Fuse Apache Camel Tooling - A graphical tool for integrating software components that works with Apache ServiceMix, Apache ActiveMQ, Apache Camel and the FuseSource distributions.
