- jBPM5 is an open-source business process management project that offers a generic process engine supporting native BPMN 2.0 execution targeting both developers and business users. - The core engine allows defining and executing processes using BPMN 2.0 XML definitions and provides integration with rules, events, human tasks, and more. - jBPM5 provides flexibility through combining processes defined in BPMN with rules and events while also supporting integration with domain-specific processes.
