Thomas,
Personally I think there is a little to much emphasis on BPMN and the workflow patterns,
unless it really is the intention to support them (both the patterns and bpmn)
According to
http://is.tm.tue.nl/research/patterns/ this is the old site and contains
older patterns. The newer site
(
http://www.workflowpatterns.com/patterns/control/index.php) contains many more patterns.
The older ones are already supported by jBPM as you can see in the testcases. I started
working on the newer ones about a year ago, but stopped after a published report about
limited support in jBPM. Tom has a different opinion about the way they should be
supported compared to the authors of the (academic) papers. So we should either put a lot
of effort in the patterns to get jBPM on
http://www.workflowpatterns.com/vendors/index.php
or pay less attention to them.
The same is true regarding BPMN.

the BPMN model. Ultimately we will have BPMN conform process model that can somehow be
executed on the ProcessEngine
If this really is the case, JBoss should put it's foot where it's mouth is and act
on it. Just stating it gives a bad impression and unrealistic expectations. So a
'roadmap' for this is important.
But besides this 'comment' I think the additional work you (and Heiko) do is
great.
