Hi Orhun, the BPMN2 specification defines the notation of all BPMN2 
modeling elements. Since the spec itself is fairly new the jBPM Eclipse 
editor that you are using was done before OMG published this notation so 
the graphic images in the Eclipse editor do not use it. Both the jBPM 
web designer ( http://www.jboss.org/jbpm/components/designer ) and the 
new BPMN2 Eclipse editor ( 
http://kverlaen.blogspot.com/2011/02/new-bpmn-20-eclipse-editor.html ) 
use the same notation images as defined per the spec.

The appearance differences do not typically cause any issues as the 
generated bpmn2 in all editors conforms to the spec.

I personally use the web designer for process development and test the 
processes in an Eclipse environment.

Hope this helps.
