useful to handler complex status transfer logic. <a
href="http://commons.apache.org/scxml/index.html";>Commons SCXML</a> is an

- <p>
- Now,more and more developers use it to help handler complex program
logic,but edit a State Chart XML is so boring and mistakable.If a SCXML file is
really so huge and complex,it will become too difficult to maintain and
refactor or to test its logic validity.For example,if a SCXML flow has more
than 20 States,it is possible to form an dead loop due to developer's glitch.
In fact, the archives of the Apache Commons SCXML user mailing list will show
many queries asking for it over the years.Obviously, Eclipse is the most power
and popular Integration Develop Environment for developers, if it supplies an
editor or even debuger for State Chart XML, isn't it cool ?

provides a generic state-machine based execution

provides an implementation in

creating and maintaining a Java SCXML

document, while abstracting out the environment
