Comment 1 Robert Brodt CLA 2011-08-24 06:49:28 EDT 
When viewing a procdef.bpmn file in the Eclipse designer tooling I would like to have a tab or easy way to view the underlying XML. The only way to do this now is to open the file with a text editor. This is a change from the way we were used to using this designer in jBPM3 or jBPM4.

We might be able to do a view-only page, because trying to keep the graphics in sync when the XML is being edited is extremely difficult. Will this work for you?

Converted to a multi-page editor with an optional Source view (available from the context menu). This work needed to be done anyway to support multiple diagrams (BPMNPlane objects) per file.

Currently the XML Source view is not synchronized with the model in the Design editor and is only updated when the file is saved. This work is still TODO - see
