+1 for everything in one file (except the forms themselves) Sure it blurs the file to have namespaces, but creating 2 section introduces imo more complexity than it solves. Besides, learning namespaces is easy Maybe using namespaced attributes like e.g. | <process-definition | xmlns="urn:jbpm.org:jpdl-3.2" | xmlns:gpd="urn:jbpm.org:jpdl-gpd-3.2" | name="simple" gpd:width="469" gpd:height="439"/> | <state name="first" gpd:x="150" gpd:y="125" gpd:width="140" gpd:height="40"/> | <transition name="to_end" to="end"> | <action name="action" class="com.sample.action.MessageActionHandler"> | <message>About to finish!</message> | </action> | </transition> | </state> | </process-definition> | is easier to read Colors etc are a different thing... should they be included at all or configurable on a higher level e.g. in the gpd, not de pd. Maybe there it is an option to show/hide the gpd namespaced attributes when editing the source View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4043437#...
