You can deploy process definitions using the web console or graphical process designer as well, but yeah...

Users would be able to deploy a .jar file named "xxx.bpm" or a foo.jpdl.xml file.  The jar file would contain a "META-INF/jbpm.jpdl.xml" file within it and any classes that could possibily be used by the process definition.

At deployment time, the JBPM deployer would calculate a hash for hte .xml file.  If this hash matches a previously deployed .xml file nothing is done.  If it is a new hash, a new version of the process definition is saved to the database.
