I checked out the project, started up eclipse with the workspace pointed at ROOT/jbpm.3/designer/jpdl Then I added plugin projects and feature project as necessary for: * org.jbpm.gd.jpdl.core * org.jbpm.gd.jpdl.db * org.jbpm.gd.jpdl.feature * org.jbpm.gd.jpdl.db.help * org.jbpm.gd.jpdl.db.site * org.jbpm.gd.jpdl.db.ui * org.jbpm.gd.jpdl.db.ui.test Result: loads of red crosses in the 'ui' project. After editing the manifest to include further plugin dependencies, the crosses go away. (OK ui is obsolete) Would it be possible for you to do a quick WIKI page on how you set it up and run it. I know that will change, but the WIKI page shouldn't take long. Alternatively just scribble your instructions as a reply here, and I will validate them and do the WIKI page myself, if that helps. anonymous wrote : Before I forget, to actually build the feature, the best thing to do is to check out the jbpm.3/designer/jpdl project and invoke the ant build. Make sure that you have the correct cvs client and the correct zip/unzip software installed on your system path. OK understood, and I have done that successfully.
