BPM Javadocs (and others?)

For this one workflow I'm working on I want take advantage of the process variables.  I have a custom workflow method that needs to read them, but the API's for doing this aren't published.  Sigh... so after slamming my head down on my keyboard repeatedly I went a quest to see if they are out there.

Sadly no luck.  The only thing I could find was a tiny, tiny one line reference in some example code in one of the manuals to getPrimitiveVariableValue() in com.documentum.bpm.IDfWorkitemEx.  I've got that at least, so I can reverse engineer this if I have to... but I really really really don't want to.

So here's the question?  Anyone know how to obtain the mystical BPM Javadocs?  For that matter:

  • Please, oh please, great and mighty EMC, make any and all API reference documentation available to us developers!  We're grateful for the UI improvements, but sometimes we need to go further.
  • Sometimes it's necessary to make several chunked versions of the Javadocs, but it would be most excellent if a giant compendium (ie. just a single friggin' large zip file) of all APIs could be created.  Or at the very least, make it easier to link them all together?
  • World peace would be nice.
  • In my old age, my mind isn't what it used to be and it's getting harder to keep track of all the .jar files scattered all across my server like Octomom and her babies.  I know that unified logging is coming, but could this one day hold true for the jar libraries?  Some consolidation?  At the very least, if I get an error message stating that com.emc.documentum.foo.widget.ui.someClass had an error - some way to locate the offending library?
