The jBPM Eclipse Editor and the Web Designer both produce valid BPMN2 that is per the BPMN2 specification. They do however use different API, Eclipse editor uses the jBPM built-in parser, whereas the web designer uses eclipse.bpmn2 ( http://wiki.eclipse.org/MDT-BPMN2 http://wiki.eclipse.org/MDT-BPMN2). The produced BPMN2 of those editor is somewhat different (different namespace used, different id-creation strategy) but they should be able to be used interchangeably...we have and keep putting alot of work into it, so having guys like Adam above just spew Fud about it is a little discouraging, but he has the right to his opinions. 

Can you please post your BPMN2 with which you are running into issues with so we can test locally and provide fixes if necessary?

Currently, the Web Designer is strongly tied to Guvnor. You can however use Guvnor just as an asset repository and embed the editor into your own application(s) -- for more info see blog and video:  http://blog.athico.com/2011/04/using-oryx-designer-and-guvnor-in-your.html http://blog.athico.com/2011/04/using-oryx-designer-and-guvnor-in-your.html. If there is anough user interest to create a stand-alone version of the designer, then that will happen too  :) 

Hope this helps.
