I found the jBPM Designer to be of limited value relative to the time it took to get it installed and working. I created a diagram of the process flow using it, but then abandoned the tool once the initial XML stubs were in place. After that, using an editor to modify the processdefinition.xml file seemed like the faster way to go. For my next workflow, I won't use the tool at all. I'll just create the XML with an editor.

I did run a completed processdefinition file through the designer to reverse engineer a diagram which worked out nicely for documentation purposes.

The designer has so many bugs, which is a pity because it would be useful, and clients are strongly asking for such a tool.

I added a lot of information to the Wiki to explain how to circumvent the designer's bug, installation should work and you should be able to create and deploy a workflow using the instructions:

I works on my computer. Please all let me know if the instruction work for you.

Cheers,
