Hi,

I've thought about an eclipse plugin for workflow editing for some time.
I've even started, but I had much too little time to achieve something
presentable so far.

Here's my approach: leave out any legacy code. In order to be up-to-date
(especially to be still up-to-date when you have finished ;-)), use BPMN
as specification for the graphical representation and XPDL 2.0 as
format. Add editing modes that optionally restrict the available
elements to the BPEL or XPDL 1.0 subsets and provide a "Save as" or
export for this format.

Using EMF and XPDL 2.0 works quite well, it gives you an easy start. Put
GMF on top. I think it is the way to go. If I there had been a little
bit more time at my disposal in the last six months...

Regards,

Michael
