BPEL Designer for JBoss - Eclipse Plugin 0.4 - Installation

The BPEL Designer for JBoss comes as a plugin for Eclipse. I installed this on JBoss Developer Studio 3.0 which is build on Eclipse 3.5.

Note(Update on April6, 2010) : You should not be installing the 0.4 plugin as JBoss release RiftSaw2.0 and BPEL designer as an Eclipse Plugin.

Instructions

• The plugin 0.4 version is available at http://download.eclipse.org/technology/bpel/update-site/ Use this as the site URL to install the plugin from in Eclipse
• When you try to install, Eclipse throws the error "Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.Software being installed: BPEL Visual Designer 0.4.0 (org.eclipse.bpel.feature.feature.group 0.4.0)Missing requirement: BPEL Visual Designer 0.4.0 (org.eclipse.bpel.feature.feature.group 0.4.0) requires 'javax.wsdl [1.4.0,1.5.0)' but it could not be found"
• This is because of the missing WSDL4J.jar version (1.4 or 1.5). The default version that comes with Eclipse plugin is 1.5.1. You should delete this jar file
• And copy http://download.eclipse.org/tools/orbit/downloads/drops/R200 90529135407/bundles/javax.wsdl_1.4.0.v200806030407.jar to the plugins folder
• Now start "eclipse -clean" and then install the plugin
