<div class="jive-rendered-content"><p>I've been trying to evaluate jboss/jbpm from end to end and I've got many hours into this already and haven't really gotten anywhere.  I am interested in jBPM because I've been asked to migrate a legacy collection of hundreds of processes to a web based system and it sounds like jBPM is the perfect solution.  </p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>What I have been able to do:</p><p>1) download jbpm full installer, but I have to manually modify build.xml in order to get eclipse for the mac (otherwise the install fails)</p><p>2) manually install the graphical process designer (not done as part of the full install?)</p><p>3) create a new jbpm project</p><p>4) edit the project and correctly run the "hello world" process locally within eclipse </p><p>5) navigate to localhost:8080/jbpm-console and log in</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>What I have not been able to do:</p><p>1)  Deploy the "hello world" process from eclipse.  I see no context menus or windows for deployment.  </p><p>2)  anything at all at the jbpm-console.  There are no tasks.  I assume this is because I have not deployed anything</p><p>3)  create a new *.bpmn file and add it to my first project </p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>My biggest question is about my tools, environment, and my assumptions.  If I download the full installer I expected that I should be able to unpack it, run "ant install.demo" then "ant start.demo", which launches eclipse, then create/edit a jbpm project that I can edit then deploy and then see something in jbpm-console.  Am I missing something obvious here?   </p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>Thanks for any help.  I don't want to give up on this.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p></p><p></p></div>
