Is creating a new process project with eclipse an option und

[jdlut]

I'm new to jBPM. I've downloaded and installed jBPM4.1 and following the excellent user documentation.

Many of the tutorials for jBPM such as http://www.mastertheboss.com/en/jboss-jbpm/51-jbpm-tutorial-part-1.html mention creating a new Process Project. However, that option isn't available for jBPM 4.1 unless I'm missed a step in the installation? The only option I have under jBPM is jBPM 4 Process Definition.

Since the Process Project does not exist, I guess that I need to manually add the files that are required to create a war file to deploy to a Tomcat server? If this isn't correct, please let me know.

I'm running the following software versions:

Eclipse IDE for Java Developers - Galileo
Java 1.6
Ubuntu

I've also run the Eclipse J2EE version that's installed with the install script but it also didn't have the Process Project option.

BTW, the ant scripts are extremely helpful!

You are right. There isn't a process project anymore. However an ant-task to deploy the process definition is supplied. There should also be an ant script around which also creates the jar with the java classes used in the process definition. Deploying is not really comfortable right now. AFAIK making deployment easier and more convient is work in progress.

I personally don't like the fact that the process definition is deployed directly to the database. It's inconvient where the database server is normally not accessible directly from the developer workstation.

What was actually the reason to drop the process project? IMHO it would be convient to have a project again whose standard behaviour is creating a *.bar with the process definition, the process image and the implementation classes and the option to deploy it.

Thank you Sebastian for letting me know that process project really doesn't exist for jBPM 4. I agree that it would be convenient to have a standard process project. I'll use the ant tasks instead.

The processproject did not do much besides adding jars to the classpath and creating some files.

The option to deploy it was something on the designer part, not the process project.

Would be better if it becomes a process nature... The process images is also created now by the GPD, no difference there

Thank you very much for the additional information.
