However I created a very simple model directly in SOA Tools BPMN Modeler and I experience the same issue when trying to convert it to JPDL (attached those files). Also, not sure what you mean by "sequenceflow". I don't see sequenceflow in any .bpmn or .bpmn_diagram.

O, "sequenceflow" is a name from bpmn specification. In  *.bpmn, it 's 
name  is  "sequenceEdges". In stp bpmn editor, it's name is Flow Connector.
I am running stp bpmn editor by debugging stp bpmn editor sources. So 
maybe some differences?
Where do you get the stp.archivedsite-2.0.0.M3.zip? Please give me a 
link.Thanks.

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?
