This library provides a modern engine-agnostic API which can be used to implement process applications. By providing a set of adapters to relevant process engines (Camunda Platform 7, Camunda Platform 8, etc...) the library enforces separation of the integration of process engine from the selection of the used engine. This approach fosters an easy migration between engines and tries to achieve to support migrations with minimal (or even no) code modifications.

The library contains of the following Maven modules:

• process-engine-api: pure API written in Kotlin (100% Java-compatible)
• process-engine-api-adapter-commons: commons for adapter implementation, which are independent of the selected engine
• process-engine-api-adapter-camunda-platform-7-embedded-core: core implementation classes for Camunda 7 Platform embedded without additional dependencies
• process-engine-api-adapter-camunda-platform-7-embedded-spring-boot-starter: SpringBoot starter for usage of Camunda 7 embedded Platform adapter
• process-engine-api-adapter-camunda-platform-7-remote-core: core implementation classes for Camunda 7 Platform remote without additional dependencies
• process-engine-api-adapter-camunda-platform-7-remote-spring-boot-starter: SpringBoot starter for usage of Camunda 7 Platform remote adapter
• process-engine-api-adapter-camunda-platform-8-core: core implementation classes for Camunda 8 Platform without additional dependencies
• process-engine-api-adapter-camunda-platform-8-spring-boot-starter: SpringBoot starter for usage of Camunda 8 Platform adapter
• examples/java-common-fixture: A project that is used independent of selected process engine adapter
• examples/java-c7: Project with embedded C7 engine and a simple process scenario
• examples/java-c7-remote: Project with C7 as remote engine engine and a simple process scenario
• examples/java-c8: Project with configuration of SaaS C8 engine and a simple process scenario

The API consists of different parts independent of each other.

• Deployment API
• Process API
• Correlation API
• Signal API
• Task Subscription API
• User Task Completion API
• Service Task Completion API

The Task API provides functionality to deal with service tasks. The task handlers can be registered and get invoked when tasks appear in the process engine. Since the Task API allows asynchronous processing, we provide a special API to complete tasks.
