I just installed Eclipse (Kepler), jBPM/Drools 5.5, and the latest BPMN 2.0 modeler (0.2.7).

I created a new process definition using the Arbitrary Cycles workflow pattern off of the modeler palette. I added a Global variable just fine in the Data Items -> Global List section - i.e. was able to create a new global and select a data type for it.

When I attempted to add a variable to the process definition (Data Items -> Variable List section), and I selected the "+" in the variable details for the data type - a "Create New Item Definition" dialog was displayed, with a "Browse Types" button. When I click on that button, nothing happens, and the following is found in the Eclipse log.

Hi Keith,

This problem has already been reported here: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=416719
I've been doing code refactoring and its causing some regressions - sorry about that. Will have a fix for this (and others) soon.

Bob
