Re: [bpel-dev] Re: question about Eclipse BPEL status

[Jonathan Coogan <Jonathan.Coogan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have had some success in both these areas.  The files produced by the
editor do work in Ode for the most part.  There are some problems but I've
been trying to write them up as I find them.  I have also been able to
repackage the editor in an RCP application.  It takes some work but it is
definitely do-able.
