Developing MHEG application - simulator

I have downloaded OpenMHeg simulator..how to develop an application in mheg?what eclipse version i need to use?where do i get the sdk for mheg?

I haven't tried yet. but I think it's worth trying. Someone said that the BBC's implementation of MHEG5 is open sourced
It can be downloaded from mhegplus on sourceforge

There is no MHEG-5 SDK. There is some limited documentation available online, and a few discussions of the type hierarchy.
Since MHEG-5 has no support for user defined types and the API is completely provided by the implementation (in various states of brokenness), you only need an editor and an understanding of the application model to write applications.
I wrote an introduction to MHEGPlus a while ago but didn't go into any advanced application building techniques. There are a few more examples out there if you look for them.

What is the best workflow engine for ASP.NET Core project

We are evaluating and looking for a workflow engine which support .NET-Core and I'd really appreciate the community input. I would like to hear on the suggestion based on your guys implementation stories.
My main evaluation criteria, so far, are below;
open source and OEM friendly license
production installations (success stories are a great help)
technical support available
open standards support - BPMN
dynamic creation/assembly of the workflow based on input
embeddable
Currently I am evaluating Elsa, Workflow Core, Argo, and Airflow. Elsa seems like a good candidate as well but never used it.
Do you guys have any successful deployments on Elsa workflow engine?
Full disclosure: I am the project lead of Elsa, but I will try and be as objective as I can.
Elsa does not currently support BPMN, so if this is a hard requirement then Elsa might not be suitable for your project. At least not until it implements BPMN in the future.
As for technical support, there is no official paid support available as of yet, but the community is very friendly & helpful, though still relatively small.
Dynamic creation based on input is possible since you can programmatically define workflows. But you cannot update workflows while it executes (which would be more or less similar to being able to update your C# program statements as your program runs). Not sure if this is what you are looking for or not?
Other than that, Elsa is OEM friendly, runs in production successfully at several companies that I know of and is embeddable.

How do I use HP's UFT with Eclipse's EMF Client Platform?

I have an existing software system in pure Java (1.8, currently 32 bit), using Eclipse's EMF Client Platform. Some modules are opened in normal web browsers like IE, Chrome etc. while others are loaded into an Eclipse client as Eclipse plugins. We're using Eclipse Mars.
We're looking to automate our testing with HP's UFT, so we're trying it out for the first time with a freshly downloaded trial version. We easily figured out how to use UFT with modules that are opened in a web browser from a tutorial I found online.
However, we're unable to say the same for the part of the system opened in the Eclipse client. My PM did a little preliminary research and some say there are compatibility issues. Right now I'm investigating this in-depth with the objective to get it working if possible. I Google'd with the terms UFT, Eclipse plugin, and/or EMF Client Platform without useful result.
As someone using this tool for the first time, I'm looking for help from those with experience in the community. Do you know any tutorial, documentation, any material that can assist me, whether to solve the problem outright or at least to help me understand the relevant parts of the UFT tool?
I understand LeanFT is installed with UFT, so I am open to using it as an alternative. Thanks!

Converting JavaFX 1.x scripts to JavaFX 2 Java code

Is there any tool to convert existing JavaFX 1.x applications to JavaFX 2.x Java code?
No such tool currently exists publicly and it is unlikely that one will be created.
Oracle did create a prototype tool which was used in internal Oracle development, but they decided not to continue development on it.
Quotes from the JavaFX project lead Richard Bair (from the forum threads linked below):
Richard: I'm sorry to say we have no tool to help with the migration. Our
experience from migrating the JavaFX Library and samples is that there
wasn't really an easy solution -- even the migration assistant that
was written was very incomplete. Some folks found it very useful, but
I just did it by hand.
PDVieira: Any chance you could send me the FxTranslator helper you've
created?
Richard: Wish I could, but unfortunately we cannot send it along
(actually, I don't even have the code on hand, didn't write it (Eamonn
did) and it would need to get legal approve to open source it, and it
probably doesn't even compile or work anymore because the platform has
change significantly since last December).

Using webservice in Qt

I was surfing through various article related to Webservice in Qt , but unfortunatly didn't got what i was looking for. I am using .Net webservice with SOAP, and want to parse this service. Gone through various related article, but the basic problem that i am facing is to get the Soap libraries? Where to download from? And how to integrate? And this will really work for me?
Thank You.
Your best bet is probably integrating gSOAP into your Qt application. (Make sure it's Licensing terms are ok for you.)
A good run-down of how to do the integration is GSoap: SAOP and XML Web services for Qt apps (includes a sample .zip file). That doesn't require a specific version of Qt (since gSOAP is doing all the work essentially), so anything modern-ish should do.
Although it's a very late suggestion, Apache Axis is a free/open source software SOAP stack that appears to fit your needs.

Maven - which projects or techologies you are using it for?

I've been leading rather large project that strives to "Mavenize" various testing apps produced by the engineering tools group over past 5+ years to test and optimize our home-built database. So far our group managed to successfully retrofit (beside obvious Java) few Coldfusion-based apps, PHP app, large .NET app with about 30 modules and currently working on roughly 40 C/C++ apps. Actually, once you abstract yourself from Java-centric nature of Maven and throw in few useful plugins such as antrun, exec, assembler and resource you can pretty much figure out way of "Mavenizing" just about anything.
So my question is - are there people who had this sort of experience - using Maven to manage non-Java projects? What was it? What language/technology? What did you end up using? How? Were you successful? And if not - what did you end up using as alternative?
Conceptually, Maven is not Java centric but Java is monopolizing most efforts as written on Wikipedia:
Theoretically, [Maven's plugin-based architecture] would allow anyone to write plugins to interface with build tools (compilers, unit test tools, etc.) for any other language. In reality, support and use for languages other than Java has been minimal.
Having that said, I don't have any personal experience of maven with something else than Java. But I can suggest to check out Maven for other languages? :)
We're using Maven to build a Flex application, and it's working quite nicely :).
I have used maven for generating documentation based on LaTeX source files. Using exec and some wrapper scripts, I can create PDF files and handle SCM releases.
One of the PDF files generated is included in a web app by letting maven package it into a jar file, which is referenced from the web app as a regular dependency. The web app can then access the PDF file on the class path.
