Way back when IBM described their initial contribution, there was no mention
of a BPEL editor. Since that time, IBM has created a BPEL editor based on
the BPMN 1.0 specification, and rumor is that it has been released in the
latest version of WebSphere Studio.
Does anyone know if the IBM contribution will be revised to include the
BPEL4WS Importer/Exporter?
I personally think this will eventually become a critical piece of the WTP.
If IBM is not planning on offering this, I have my own framework for a BPEL
editor that I would like to contribute. It's not as complete as the IBM
editor (just a framework, the tool is not complete).
I don't really want to introduce a competing editor that will bifurcate the
development environment, but I'm prepared to do this if IBM's editor is not
included in their already generous initial offering. Of course, I'd also
rather not contribute my code only to get eclipsed by IBM. ;-)

Christophe and Brian,
No, the IBM proposal is not being revised at this time to include BPEL
support. IBM is, as you know, proposing to contribute a fairly complete
set of tools for SOAP, WSDL, UDDI, and WS-I, but that's where we drew
the line.
However, since BPEL is being developed as an Open Web service standard
by OASIS, it certainly falls within the proposed scope of the Web
Standard Tools project. I encourage you to make a contribution. I am
sure it would attract interest from many of the vendors in the OASIS TC.
IMHO, I think the existence of readily available reference
implementations of the runtime and tools for any standard are a big help
to its adoption.

Brian,
most of the images are missing in the proposal text. Could you update them?

Vlad,
Thanks for the shared interest. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but as I
said in my proposal a UML based editor has some limitations for a BPEL
process editor framework.
I don't think it's possible to support BPMN using UML. Perhaps you can come
close though. You probably have a better idea than I do of how close you can
come to supporting BPMN.
Also, I'm not sure how thorough the integration with the Eclipse model would
be for your solution. For instance, BPEL offers many constraints on a model
which can be reflected in the Tasks view. Will your BPEL profiles offer this
kind of user feedback? How seamlessly will your solution integrate with the
WSDL and other tools that are required by BPEL? Many BP solutions offer a
form editor. Will your solution be extendable in such a way that allows
developers to plug in their own forms editor?
I could go on, but I think the general consensus from BPMI.org is that UML
is too generic to support the kind of functionality required for a fully
functional BPEL editor, hence the BPMN spec.
I do think a UML editor solution is quick, easy to learn and could be a nice
offer for limited modeling, and I think Omondo writes some excellent tools.
Please be free to disagree with me if you see things differently.
