Jeff,

I've created:

https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-3364

to track this. Can you please attach the BPMN file in question to that
JIRA, so Grid can look into it (not sure if this is the same file as
originally discussed on this thread, since Grid reported that file
worked correctly for him.)

Grid: Please take a look into this.

However when I get to the step in the wizard that has me select the pool, I select the only pool in my BPMN diagram (I had hand removed the other pools prior to start with a simple example), and it hangs when I select next, and I have to cancel. My BPMN model was generated from the pi4soa CDL tool.

In particular doing soa development work I have no interest in or use for seam, rich faces, jbossas tooling. So until there is a version of JBoss Tools targeted at the SOA developer, I would prefer to add the plugins I require. Grid mentioned a common zip, but the one he passed me was old. I don't see a tools common zip on the download page. How would I find this?
