Configuring jbpm5 plugin for MyEclipse

In this week I found sometime after finishing work on the latest release of our product. I want to update myself with JBPM5 as its long time I worked on JBPM3.4. I downloaded it complete pack and installer and tried to configure the JBPM5 plugin with MyEclipe 10.5 from following repositories as per its manual.
Eclipse 3.6 (Helios):

http://download.eclipse.org/bpmn2-modeler/site-helios/
Eclipse 3.7 (Indigo):
 http://download.eclipse.org/bpmn2-modeler/site/

Although these sites are primarily for Eclipse and working fine with it, but I was thinking that it should work for MyEclipse as but each time I disappointed.

In the meantime I download its installer and tried to configure using ant.
I edited the following properties from build.properties files
......
.....
jboss.home={JBOSS_HOME}

eclipse.home={MYECLIPSE_HOME}

.....
  • and then run the following ant scripts
  • ant install.guvnor.into.jboss
  • ant install.designer.into.jboss
  • ant install.droolsjbpm-eclipse.into.eclipse
Configuration for JBoss is optional.

After that i started MyEclipse and it load jbpm/bpmn2 plugin. :)

and I'm playing with JBPM5......
