New Install - No jBPM Perspective in Eclipse

created by Gary Huntress in jBPM - View the full discussion

I'm just getting started with jBPM and I'm trying to get my development environment as correct/current as possible so I can follow all the tutorials and build my first few projects.

 

I've installed jBPM5 using the full installer and I've run "ant install.demo".  I don't see any errors during this step.  When I launch using "ant start.demo", jboss will run and I can connect.  Eclipse launches and can create a new jBPM project.  I can run the sample.java and it produces "hello world' in the eclipse console as expected. 

 

I can also open sample.bpmn and I can edit this grapically using the list of components etc.

 

What I cannot seem to do is find the jBPM perspective.   The tutorials indicate it should be under "window | open perspective | other " but I do not have that listed.   What component am I missing?   During install.demo I do see:

 

install.jBPM-eclipse.into.eclipse:

    [unzip] Expanding: /Users/gary/Desktop/jbpm-installer/lib/jbpm-5.0.0-eclipse-all.zip into /Users/gary/Desktop/jbpm-installer/eclipse

 

so I thought that was all I needed (again there were no errors during the installation).   I'm installing on a Mac running 10.6.

 

Thanks,

 

Gary H.
