Ok - opening gpd.xml instead of processdefinition.xml will teach me not to trust documentation. I ought to know better at my age. I was right about that cast though! More seriously, it still doesn't (appear) to work for me, though perhaps my expectations are wrong. I can open processdefinition.xml ok, but when I right click on the node (as per the getting started doc) I don't see a context menu that includes "Add task" or "Add action", nor do I have a "Swimlanes" tab as shown in fig 22 of http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=JbpmGettingStarted. Should I see those things, or is the document incorrect? Cheers, Ian. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4096258#...
