    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-8330?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12580563#comment-12580563 ] 

joe freeman commented on JBIDE-8330:
------------------------------------

I knew I shouldn't have put that in there!    We currently load all processdefinition.xml files on the classpath and not from a DB.  Now we need to load against other patterns since there doesn't seem to be a way to create definitions with the old naming conventions.

My main point with this Jira is that someone changed the naming conventions for a "mature" tool without anything obvious showing up in the release notes Jira list.   This change along with the one mentioned in JBIDE-8331 have had a real impact on us.  I eventually found comments his change in "what's new" but I had to do a lot of searching before I found it.

Our current workaround is to copy/paste existing definitions in the file manager and then edit/delete/insert in Eclipse.

> We just upgraded to the 3.2.0 JBoss JBPM editing tools and the behavior has changed for the definition creation wizard. It looks like the JBPM 3 wizard now creates files with the JBPM 4 naming convention.It used to create files with the name gpd.xml, processdefinition.xml and processimage.jpg.  Now it creates files with <def_name>.jpdl.xml, process.jpg and .<def_name>.gpd.xml.  
> This broke our file system loader code and we can't find any release notes or Jira tickets that describe why or when this change was made. I found notes in http://docs.jboss.org/tools/whatsnew/jbpm/jbpm-news-3.2.0.M1.html that show that this was intentional.
> I guess this could be changed to an enhancement that there should have been a property or something to support the old format. This is a moderately large change to a product that is essentially in maint mode.
