Hi everybody, I need to develop a workflow (taskflow) editor for a Grid Scheduler (the one provided with proactive: http://proactive.inria.fr/) and I am actually looking for a technology to achieve this. I will probably choose between using Topcased and GEF&EMF.
We use xml language in order to specify a workflow model instace, and of course, already have an XSD for our workflow meta-model. We have already generated an EMF model. The model we need to create (our workflow) consists in a tree of tasks. Each task has a set of properties and may need to point to a file (an executable or a java file describing the behavior of the task). We also need to have a runtime view (when the tree of tasks is submited to the Scheduer, the tasks views would change their colors depending on the state of the real tasks on grid - upon some events received by the system). Well, my question is very simple. While browsing the documents on the Topcased website this morning I could not tell if Topcased could respond to my needs. Actually I am not sure if, for my usecase in particular, Topcased would bring more features then just using GEF and EMF. I have already used Topcased 4 years ago for an editor and I was very happy about it at the time, but I think things have changed in the meanwhile, in Topcased and GEF&EMF. Thanks in advance for any response and any pointer to any document on creating editors with Topcased.
