I tried importing a BPEL source file that has extension activities defined, but the editor plugin did not contain serializer/deserializer classes or definitions for the extension activities. This caused an NPE during construction of the grapical EditParts. This is unacceptable behavior - the editor should be able to display the parts of the process that are valid and create error markers for the missing extensions. Also, the examples illustrate a "structured extension activity" which behaves like a <sequence>, i.e. a container for 1 or more activities. This requires a model change because the ExtensionActivity model object does not have an "activities" container.
This has already been reported in https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-6917
OK, I was mistaken about a required model change. I did not notice that the extension model in the org.eclipse.bpel.extensionsample.model plugin included an "activity" structural feature for the SampleStructuredActivity EObject. However, this did require a change in org.eclipse.bpel.model.ReconciliationHelper.getActivity() which has to search the extension activity model object for an "activity" feature. It is assumed that this contains the enclosed Activity object for container activities.
I can confirm that this works now.
