Exactly.
If the ESB team doesn't add feature requests to jira for these things 
there is *no* chance for us to add these things. ESB team needs to help 
define/update the tooling
interactively and not just after the fact. Would be good if they asked 
the tooling guys how they would be able to support a new feature since 
it might affect the
implementation.

Smooks Transformer Action should really be Smooks Action and the class should be org.jboss.soa.esb.smooks.SmooksAction. Also there are additional properties that could be configured (e.g., resultType and javaResultBeanId) and the From Type and To Type under Advanced are out-of-date as well. How can we know which are the correct ones ?
