ah. i forgot to mention the target 'install.jboss.and.configure.jbpm' in the jboss/configuration/build.xml that target will install the jboss in the local repository to the ${jboss.home} directory. then a jbpm server configuration is created as a copy of the default configuration. in the jbpm server configuration, the jbpm datasource and message queues, and logging configuration will be deployed. so that target is the prerequisite for doing all other deployments as they might use one of these deployments.
