eXo Bonita user guide
  
  This guide provides an introduction to the Workflow services brought by Bonita in
  eXo Platform. It should be helpful to read, as a supplement, information provided
  by "Workflow portlets" and "Bonita business processes" sections.

  {{{http://bonita.objectweb.org/}Bonita}} is a J2EE workflow system providing
  out of the box workflow functionalities to define and run business processes
  such the XPDL workflow defintion module, the J2EE based workflow engine, the
  JMS based awareness infrastructure or the interoperability services. Bonita 
  is Open Source and is downloadable under the LGPL License. 


  The goal of this service is three folds:

  * to enable users to manage Bonita business processes they are involved in through a
    JSR 168 user interface,

  * to enable administrators to deploy, manage and monitor Bonita business processes,

  * to manage the lifecycle of documents processed by the Enterprise Content Management
   (ECM) system.

Installation

  JOnAS is the default J2EE 1.4 certified application server leveraged by Bonita to run.
  eXo Bonita comes as a zip patch to apply on top of JOnAS. It bundles eXo ECM, 
  Bonita and all required configuration settings. The Bonita Struts Web application has
  been disabled, as its features are covered by the Portal.

  You might want to download the zip file from the 
  {{{http://forge.objectweb.org/project/showfiles.php?group_id=151}ObjectWeb forge}}.

  complete the install is included in the root of the zip.
