> The JBPM 3 file naming change mentioned in https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-8330 combined with the SCM breakage from https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-7732 breaks Eclipse SCM plugins (Perforce) that require file checkouts when editing files.  The new naming convention creates a hidden file that can't be seen by the user.
> The old pre JBIDE-7732 behavior let the SCM system automatically check out and unlock files when opening for edit in Eclipse.  Then the problem reported in JBIDE-7732 bypassed the SCM/file hooks so that folks were REQUIRED to manually check out all 3 JBPM files for a process definition.  Now the new JBIDE-8330 behavior in 3.2.0 (maybe 3.1.0?) editor hides the gpd files from view which means it is no longer possible to check out in Eclipse.
> The two changes in behavior make it very difficult to use JBpm 3.2.0 in Eclipse for new JBPM 3 process definitions under version control where file check outs are required.
> It looks like this change was introduced in 3.2.0M2 per http://docs.jboss.org/tools/whatsnew/jbpm/jbpm-news-3.2.0.M2.html.  There filtering of file types should be a preferences setting.  Magic, invisible, files can be confusing to developers.
