+<p><b><u>Notice :</u> OFBiz gave up on Workflow Engines. Shark was implemented last but never really used in OFBiz.
+Instead of using a Workflow Engine, OFBiz use an Event Driven Architecture (EDA) and ECAs (SECA, EECA, MECA)
+are used in OFBiz to drive the Workflow. ECA is the acronym of Event Condition Action.
+SECAs are for Services (triggered on services conditions), EECA are for Entity (triggered on entities conditions), MECAs are for Mail.
