Alan,
They haven't really disappeared. The problem
with the state and for each nodes is that we are switching to the BPMN2
specification as the underlying XML format but unfortunately those elements to
not have an (exact) match in the BPMN2 spec. This means we should extend
the spec to support this. However, since the spec itself is still
evolving, we need to make sure we don't do anything now we will regret later (as
the spec might be updated). That's why you won't see them by
default.
However, we didn't change anything that was already
there. So if you're still using the old custom RuleFlow XML format (select
Drools 5.0 code compatibility when creating a new Flow or project) and the
old default skin (in your preferences, under Drools, change the skin to
default and reopen your process), the state and for each nodes are still
there.
Also thanks for mentioning the escape characters
issue, I'll look into that.

Subject: [rules-users] Missing Component
types in Drools Flow 5.1 SNAPSHOTEclipse plugin?
I've just deployed the latest 5.1 snapshot
(revision 3724) of the Drools Eclipse plugin. In the Drools Flow graphical
editor, the 'State' and 'For Each' component types are still not present in
the Components palette. Presumably these will be added prior to the actual 5.1
release?
Also, I've noticed that characters such as
&, <, > etc. used within property values (e.g. the process name) are
not escaped when written out to XML. Needless to say, this can cause
problems.
Regards,
Alan
