anonymous wrote : Why the need for it to be in tables?
The point in using tables is consistency.  To get configuration about a Transition, a user should expect to retrieve the transition and then retrieve the configuration off of it, just like they would for anything else.

anonymous wrote : I hate 'generic' tags. They quickly become meaningless. 
Quite possible (on the meaningless part--I'm not qualified to comment on wether you like them or not :-) ).  However, a 'meta' tag is no more meaningless than a note pad;  its not the note pad that matters, its what you put in it, and that can only be as meaningless as you allow it to be.  By giving developers a meta tag, we would in essence simply be giving them a place to jot down notes about their process elements (notes that they can access programatically later in the same way they access the jpdl elements themselves).

anonymous wrote : Would we see people using it? Would they give feedback on how they use it? I doubt it.
Well, we would use it.  And I'm not shy about giving feedback. :-)

anonymous wrote : maybe because I use jBPM to little hands on and spend to much time in the forum ;-)
Unfortunately, I'm doing the opposite.  Working with it too much and following the project too little.
