Hi,

I am new in activiti and currently we are using activiti5.9 version .We would like to migrate version to 6.0. Can you help me to analyse the new features from 5.9 to 6.0 and what are the changes I need to made in our existing codes.

Hi,

In the link below, you can find a paragraph (the last) called "migration guide".

https://community.alfresco.com/community/bpm/blog/2017/06/01/activiti-6-is-here 

The post points to the following link:

Activiti Migraton Guide : Activiti v5 to Activiti v6 

I hope this helps you.

PS. Are you sure you are using Activiti 5.9? Below the link to the Activiti releases. Releases · Activiti/Activiti · GitHub 

[sufalasubash]

Yes..We are using 5.9 version and using below libraries

• activiti-engine-5.9-sources.jar
• activiti-engine-5.9.jar
• activiti-spring-5.9-sources.jar
• activiti-spring-5.9.jar

Ok, so you can take a look at the nexus server.

Nexus Repository Manager 

Under Activiti.org releases repository you will find org | activiti | activiti-engine.

Inside you have all the versions, including 5.9.

For the full package you can check at the kink below.

We are only using engine and spring jars in 5.9 version.Do we need to add all jar files in activiti 6 dowloaded lib folder to classpath

[fcorti]

Yes, you should try replacing the *.5.9 jars with the 6.0 ones.

Replaced and added jackson dependecy, Juel-impl jar files to class path for successful build.My question is the lib folder contains spring boot,content storage,dmn related jar files..Do we need to add these files?
