New BPMN2 editor and hidden directories

[mpiraccini]

Hi guys,

I'm playing with the new BPMN2 editor. I see that the editor creates a ".bpmn2" hidden directory on the root of my project that replicates all the packages structure to specify the "*bpmn2d" files.

This is quite annoying...it's possible to create these files directly in the directory with the bpmn2 resource?

Alternatively, it will be great to add the XML fragment as part of the XML process definition: I know that XML is not standard (uses non standard namespaces: graphiti, eclipse)  but other BPMN2 process engines could ignore that part, so the process portability should not be affected.

Is there a specific reason why this is creating problems for you.  As it is a not so uncommon approach to use a hidden directory in the root to store some information.  You probably also have a .settings folder there and maybe more.

As far as I know, this information is also just temporarily generated, as you're allowed to delete it.  Adding it to the process definition sounds like a bad idea to me   But maybe we should just look at whether it is possible to live without them.

If this is an issue for you, could you open up a JIRA issue for this and log as much information as possible why, so we (and others) can follow up?

Thx,

Kris
