Francesco Chicchiriccò updated SYNCOPE-1718:
--------------------------------------------
Description:
As [recently reported in Flowable
forum|https://forum.flowable.org/t/module-flowable-json-converter-and-flowable-ui-modeler-frontend-missing-in-7-0-0-m1/10061]
at least two important modules, currently used for Console support, e.g. JSON
Converter and UI Modeler, were not included into their next major release 7.0.0.
Alternatives considered:
* [Activiti|https://www.activiti.org/] (adopted in the past and later
discarded in favor of Flowable); changing the user workflow adapter
implementation is straightforward, but forms (for user requests) and web editor
are barely not any more available from the open source releases.
* [Operaton|https://operaton.org/], a.k.a. "the fork of the fork" (since it
comes from Camunda which originally came from Activiti); while it seems a real
open source project with its community, forms will need to be mostly
re-implemented and likely not covering all use cases currently implemented.
* [Apache Kie|https://kie.apache.org/] e.g. jBPM / Drools now at The ASF;
after [reaching out to their users mailing
list|https://lists.apache.org/thread/r4nn7gbfsm2zpgl4ybd8qcxj4djdfx45] it seems
that a few key items are missing.

As [recently reported in Flowable
forum|https://forum.flowable.org/t/module-flowable-json-converter-and-flowable-ui-modeler-frontend-missing-in-7-0-0-m1/10061]
there is chance that at least two important modules, currently used for
Console support, e.g. JSON Converter and UI Modeler, will not get into their
next major release 7.0.0.
It could be the case, then, to re-evaluate Activiti (adopted in the past and
later discarded in favor of Flowable) or to reconsider the whole user workflow
customization.
Another interesting option is [Operaton|https://operaton.org/], a.k.a. "the
fork of the fork" - yet promising about community support.
Last but not least (especially because now at The ASF): Apache Kie's
