Remove need for jBPMRuntime in jDPL Designer
--------------------------------------------

                 Key: GPD-192
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/GPD-192
             Project: JBoss jBPM GPD
          Issue Type: Feature Request
            Reporter: Jeff DeLong
         Assigned To: Koen Aers


jPDL designer should be enhanced to not require the entire jBPM suite download to be configured as the jBPM Runtime, but instead include bpm-jpdl.jar, version.xml and whatever other files are required in a jBPM library which could be included as part of the plugin installation. Currently the jpdl designer requires this design tool to have access to jbpm source code, etc, which many process designers would not typically have. It also will make it easier packaging for the SOA-P.

Also, the drools plugin has a feature that allows the user to take an existing project and "Convert to Drools Project", which essentially adds the drools library jars to the project classpath. This is a really handy feature, because it does not force developers to start out as a drools project (which project type should I use if I want to include both jbpm and drools?). It would be nice if jPDL designer had a similar capability, where you could just say "Convert to jBPM Project", and it added the jbpm library jars to the classpath. In this way the SOA Platform IDE plugins (jBPM and Drools) would work in a similar way wrt to classpath, project structure, etc.
