Open a workflow in the Business Process editor. 2. Edit the workflow. 3. Try to save the workflow under a new name (File > Save As). => Menu item is grayed out.

Hi, Is it enough to save the process as a new file *in the workspace*? We could imagine to save it as a new name anywhere on the disk, but the BPEL Designer does not support edition of external processes (located outside the workspace). Saving a copy in the workspace is quite easy to implement. Another question: what should be the edited file after the "save as"? The previously edited file or the new copy?
Hi, 1st question: IMO, saving the process within the workspace will do. That was just what I intended to do when I posted this CR. ;-) 2nd question: Well, preferably, it should conform with Eclipse's default behavior (if there is any). I tried it with a text file in the Text Editor: When I change the original file and select "Save As" to create a new file, I end up with the copy in the Text Editor showing the new input. The original file is left unchanged then. This seems to be a reasonable behavior. So, IMO, "the new copy" is the answer to your question.
