Imhotep Status

Imhotep is currently available as a production-quality beta (Imhotep beta 1.0). Tool support is in the form of a graphical editor implemented within Frameworx' Swing-based Alvar editor framework. Java code can be written directly within this editor.

Imhotep Roadmap

June 2004

• Native Eclipse editor
  The Alvar/Swing-based editor will be replaced with an Eclipse-based editor providing required functionality

• Native types
  Use of native types to represent the state of Imhotep artifacts (State, Transition, Router, etc).

• Migration to XDoclet
  Metadata corresponding to State, Transition, Router, etc. will be expressed in terms of XDoclet tags, rather than separate XML documents.

December 2004

• Enhanced Web services support
