⚠ Warnings

If you encounter any problems with the application, be sure to check the wiki for troubleshooting. If your problem is not resolved, check to see if there is already an issue with your problem. If not, create an issue describing the problem in detail.

Incompatibility between versions

Most of the time the versions are not compatible with each other. If you have used a previous version in your project, you must delete the old version before using the new one. To do this, be sure to delete the directory named executionflow from your project files. Also, use only one version in your project's classpath / buildpath, otherwise the versions may conflict. Do the procedure below before using the new version.

⛔ Stop

In order to stop the application, use the Stop button in the Execution Flow window. Do not use the eclipse stop button, otherwise the original files will not be restored. This is because the eclipse stop issues a SIGKILL command, while the stop button in the Execution Flow window issues a SIGTERM command to end the application. See here more about the difference between these two commands.

Runtime warnings

If this message is displayed during the execution of the application, just click on continue (informs that the code was changed during the execution). This is because during the execution of the application the source code is changed, and in the end the original source code is restored.

🚩 Changelog

Details about each version are documented in the releases section.
