Can't change starting state node from graphical editor
------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBIDE-4082
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-4082
             Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: jbpm
    Affects Versions: 3.1.0
         Environment: Windows xp
Eclipse 3.3.2, build M20080221-1800
JBoss jBPM Eclipse plugin v3.1.3 SP2
            Reporter: Hedley Proctor
             Fix For: 3.1.0


It doesn't seem possible to change the a starting state node to a normal state node, or vice versa. e.g. if you have a starting state with transitions to a number of states, but you want to insert a new starting state before it and convert the present node to a normal "State" node, it looks like you have to

- delete your current starting state node
- create a new state node with the same name, transitions, actions etc
- add your new starting state node

Since state and starting states are very similar, perhaps we could have an option to convert a starting state node to a normal state? e.g. in the properties tab at the bottom perhaps? Then you could just click this button or change the option to convert the node type, without any deleting and recreating.
