How is this alphaWorks release related to the SCXML work in the Apache Software Foundation?
The Jakarta Commons project in the Apache Software Foundation includes Commons SCXML: an implementation aimed at creating and maintaining a Java™ SCXML engine capable of executing a state machine defined using an SCXML document, while abstracting and extracting the environment interfaces. What we have provided in this alphaWorks technology is a Mozilla plug-in that bridges the environment-independent interfaces of the Apache interpreter and the specific environment of the Mozilla and Firefox browsers. A second plug-in for Rational® Software Architect transforms UML State Chart and Activity Diagrams into SCXML mark-up able to be interpreted by the Apache engine. Note that users must separately download the Apache engine from the Jakarta Commons Web site.
