Operaton is a native BPMN 2.0 process engine that runs inside the Java Virtual Machine. It can be embedded inside any Java application and any Runtime Container. It integrates with Java EE 6 and is a perfect match for the Spring Framework. On top of the process engine, you can choose from a stack of tools for human workflow management, operations and monitoring.

Prerequisites:
JDK 17 or newer - check java -version
You can use the Maven Wrapper script to execute the build. The script downloads and installs (if necessary) the required Maven version to ~/.m2/wrapper and runs it from there.
On Linux and MacOS, run
./mvnwOn Windows, run
mvnwAlternatively, you can use the your own Maven installation (minimal version: 3.9.0) Wrapper and execute
mvnFor a faster build you can add -DskipTests to skip test execution and -Dskip.frontend.build=true to skip the build of the webapps.
Get the latest release from the Releases page.
To get the latest nightly build visit the Nightly Build actions, click on the latest available build and download from the Artifacts section.
Operaton provides a rich set of components centered around the BPM lifecycle.
- Operaton Engine - The core component responsible for executing BPMN 2.0 processes.
- REST API - The REST API provides remote access to running processes.
- Spring, CDI Integration - Programming model integration that allows developers to write Java Applications that interact with running processes.
- Operaton Engine - JMX and advanced Runtime Container Integration for process engine monitoring.
- Operaton Cockpit - Web application tool for process operations.
- Operaton Admin - Web application for managing users, groups, and their access permissions.
- Operaton Tasklist - Web application for managing and completing user tasks in the context of processes.
Out of the box, Operaton provides infrastructure-level integration with Java EE Application Servers and Servlet Containers.
Most of the components that make up the platform can even be completely embedded inside an application. For instance, you can add the process engine and the REST API as a library to your application and assemble your custom BPM platform configuration.
Operaton is fully backwards compatible to your existing BPMN-, DMN-models and Forms, which were created in Camunda Modeler for Camunda 7. You can download the Camunda Modeler here (MIT Licence).
The documentation is currently under construction. Currently, you can use the Camunda 7 Manual as a reference. Since Operaton is a fork of Camunda 7, most of the documentation is still valid. We will provide a new manual soon.
