Update::: Issues related to Plugin. When I recompiled the bpmn2 src and put that jar in the plugin lib, it simply didn't took the recompiled version. Then I removed the jar from the plugin lib and simply copied the - bpmn2 classes directly in the org/drools package of the plugin and voila - plugin started working fine.

Plugin related exception is still there. I replaced the jar "drools-bpmn2.jar" which is present in the lib of plugin jar "org.drools.eclipse_5.1.0.M2.jar" with the recompiled jar, but not much luck - plugin is still not able to open the "*.bpmn" process. The error I get is "The method getTextContent() is undefined for the type Node" . Right now I am at a dead end. Thanks in advance for help.

But when I clicked the file to open it gave the following error (image attached) "The method getTextContent() is undefined for the type Node" . I understand this error is related to org.w3c.dom.Node where this method was added as part of DOM Level 3 and available in JDK 5+ . My project and eclipse is configured against JDK 6+ . Not sure why this error with M2. May be it is because of the drools-bpmn2.jar included in the drools eclipse plugin? Can someone shed some light that where it might be going wrong.
