Generic Setup + Archgenxml + workflows + Plone 3.0

[David Bain-5]

With Plone 3.0 workflows are now xml definitions so I've done the workaround -- generate workflows for Plone 2.5, export them via portal_setup
 and then add them as xml definitions.

I suspect that this will not work with portal_quickinstaller, I'd love some guidance in this area.

If you're using GenericSetup extension profiles, then potral_quickinstaller in Plone 3 will detect the installable product and let you install it.

Okay...
Works nicely.
A few notes on how I did it:

• Generated the product as a plone 2.5 product
• Installed it on Plone 2.5
• Exported only the workflows using portal_setup
  
• cleaned up the resulting workflow.xml file to only use the workflows for my product
• moved the workflows folder and workflow.xml file to the profiles/default directory
• deleted the Workflow py files in the Extensions folder

Don't delete the generated 'Extensions' folder it is still needed

I probably, or rather definitely, should not delete my Workflow scripts... I'll need to investigate if that works fine also.
