JBoss jBPM Designer Installation

Download and install eclipse

This designer plugin works with eclipse versions 3.3. You'll need to download eclipse 3.3 separately from the jBPM suite. Fetch it from the eclipse sdk section of the jboss repository or run download.eclipse in this directory. In case you downloaded eclipse yourself from the web you need to update the build.properties and specify the location of the eclipse zip file on your local machine.

Then run ant install in this directory.

The ant build will basically extract the eclipse archive in this directory and and link the jbpm-gpd-feature into the eclipse installation through the eclipse link mechanism. You can of course perform this process manually as well.
