Hi Bob
Currently i do not have experience in Xtext and expression grammars etc,
however if this is needed i could have a look at those and start. But what
i was worrying about is other issue that you have reported in [1]. As i can
see we are stuck with the compile error in the EditorInViewSite class
in org.eclipse.bpel.common.ui.composite. This was due to the api change
introduced in eclipse Juno. I have few questions on this.
Does Lorenzo's patch fix this issue. If so can i have that patch to
tryout and have a look.
Where can i found the latest (half completed) source (I'm using the
source @ http://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/bpel/org.eclipse.bpel.git but that
doesn't reflect such changes)
Thanks
Susinda
