I am currently evaluating a few BPM platforms, including activiti 5.9, for a client. I got a series of quirks and errors from the Eclipse designer.

Hi, I retrieved the latest eclipse designer version and I see indeed now the bpmn elements using the 'Collaboration' id as reference, but I have problems changing the process id.

Initially the id is process_pool1 and when I click on the pool element and go to the process tab to change the id, it throws a nullpointerexception. It seems that changing the process id there changes the id of the processRef attribute of the <participant> element but not the id of the process itself.

It is happening consistently every time so it should be easiliy able to reproduce. We would really like to use pools and lanes in our diagrams which will greatly increase the readability.
