Werkflow, Workflow Management Software from Codehaus, is apparently in hibernation. werkflow ，工作流程管理软件从codehaus ，显然是在休眠状态。 The那个 site网站 contains no link to the software or documentation.包含任何链接到本软件或文档。 It makes nice promises but raises a serious question.它使美丽承诺，但提出了一个严重的问题。

Why?为什么？
According to the site a new version of the software is in the works - simpler, without Jelly (thank God) and with only one external dependency (hope that is not commons).根据现场一个新的软件版本是在工程-简单，没有果冻（感谢上帝） ，与上只有一个对外依存度（希望这不是商品） 。 It will not have to maintain object graphs and M of N dynamic splits will be possible.它不会具有保持物体图形和N之M动态的分裂将会成为可能。

So far so good.到目前为止，那么好。 But why take down the earlier version?但为什么要下来的早期版本？ It is extremely rare for a software company to discontinue existing version of a software before a new version is released, unless the software is so bad that they are ashamed of / afraid of / incapable of maintaining.这是极为罕见的一家软件公司，停止现有版本的软件前发布新版本，除非该软件是如此恶劣，他们感到惭愧/害怕/无法维持。 I hope there is a better reason in this case.我希望有更好的理由，在这种情况下。

Was it that bad as a basic workflow management software?那个坏作为一项基本的工作流程管理软件？
Personally I didn’t dislike it so much except for lack of workflow editor and Jelly.我个人并没有不喜欢它了这么多，除了缺乏工作流程编辑器和果冻。 Hani would probably disagree:哈尼族可能会不同意：

So what is so ludicrous about werkflow?因此，什么是这么可笑的约werkflow ？ For a start, have a look at the dependency list.一开始，有一个看看有受扶养人的名单。 18 components. 18组件。 I kid you not. i世代你不。 Of these 18, 4 are of version SNAPSHOT, and another 4 are development versions.这18个， 4个版本的快照，和另外4个是发展的版本。 These jars look suspiciously like all the xml based c**p that maven so gleefully pioneered.这些罐看，形迹可疑，象所有的XML基于C ** p表示，行家，所以兴高采烈的先驱。 Wake up folks, xml-as-code is dead, move on.醒来的乡亲， XML的作为代码是死了，继续前进。 Your friends might still laugh at you for not using xml to drive everything, and stubbornly writing old fashioned code that’s maintainable and legible.您的朋友可能仍笑，你不使用XML ，以推动一切，顽固地以书面形式老式的代码的可维护性和易读。 However, rest assured that you’re the one wearing underpants, while they are the ones with diapers.不过请放心，您一个身穿内裤，而他们自己与尿布。 You are sufficiently potty trained to determine (all by yourself!) when it is time to slip down said underpants and carefully aim resultant product.您有足够的厕所训练，以确定（全部由自己！ ）时，现在是时候向下滑移说，内裤和审慎的目的，由此产生的产品。 Your xml obsessed friends on the other hand live in a world where they excrete everything into their diapers, without a care in the world.您的XML痴迷的朋友在另一方面，生活在一个世界里，他们排泄的一切纳入其尿布，没有照顾，在世界上。 They delight in releasing all they have to offer willy-nilly.他们高兴地在释放所有他们所提供的威利- nilly 。 After all, what’sa little baggage compared to the delight of not having to find an appropriate receptacle or location?毕竟，什么是很少的行李相比，该高兴，没有找到一个适当的容器或位置？
