[jbosstools-dev] Re: How to use JBPm Converter

>> A lot of times we don't want the entire JBoss Tools, but just the plugins that we intend to use. In particular doing soa development work I have no interest in or use for seam, rich faces, jbossas tooling.
Why won't you want AS tooling when using SOA ? How are you going to 
deploy incrementally without AS ?
Doesn't SOA applications have web apps to do too ?
>> 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?

On the (nightly) update site. if/when bpmn is in the build it should 
automatically downloaded when you select the bpmn converter plugin.
