Hi,

Two questions on the new spring boot starters for Activiti:

1. Why does

spring-boot-starter-basic‍

depend on spring-integration:

It has an optional dependency on:

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.integration</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-integration-java-dsl</artifactId>
            <version>${spring-integration-java-dsl.version}</version>
            <optional>true</optional>
        </dependency>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

and contains some spring integration code in

org.activiti.spring.integration‍

Wouldn't it be better to have all this in the other starter:

spring-boot-starter-integration‍

?

2. Do these starters indicate that Activity from now on favors Spring Integration above Apache Camel as the integration framework of choice?

1. Good question, it was like that before first. But the idea with every Spring Boot starter is that they only contain some pom.xml and refer to some basic jar …

2. No. We're agnostic. We like both of them (but Spring is making huge strides forward the last year!)
