| The Eclipse New File wizard is used to create a new BPMN2 file. From the Main Menu, click <b>File -> New -> OtherÂ…</b> which opens the New File Wizard Dialog box. Navigate to the <b>BPMN2</b> |
| category and you will see several entries as shown here: |

| The first entry, <b>BPMN2 Model,</b> is actually contributed by the Eclipse BPMN2 Metamodel plug-in. This creates an empty BPMN2 file containing only a root element. When this is opened with the <i>BPMN2 |
| Model Editor</i> (a simple tree-oriented editor also contributed by the BPMN2 Metamodel plug-in) it looks something like this: |

| Since these components are part of the Eclipse BPMN2 Metamodel project, they will not be discussed further in this document. However, suffice it to say that this editor <b>can</b> be useful for |
| viewing the physical structure of a BPMN2 file, and is marginally better than a visual XML editor. |

| The second entry in the <b>BPMN2</b> category, <b>Generic BPMN 2.0 Diagram</b>, is contributed by the BPMN2 Modeler plug-in, and can be used to create a new, properly initialized Diagram file. This |
| wizard creates a file that is not intended for deployment to any particular BPM process engine (see <a href="TARGET RUNTIME EXTENSIONS.htm#_Target_Runtime_Extensions">Target Runtime Extensions</a> for a detailed discussion). |
| Selecting this entry displays the first page of the wizard, as shown here: |

| This allows you to select the type of diagram you wish to create. This page contains a brief description of each of the diagram types; pick one by clicking the image next to the description and |

| |
| <p class=MsoNormal>The next page of the wizard asks for a location, file name and a target namespace. These fields are already filled in with reasonable defaults, but you may want to change them |

| <p class=MsoNormal> |
| Part of the BPMN2 Modeler extension mechanism is the ability for plug-ins to contribute New File wizard entries. These will appear as additional entries under the <b>BPMN2</b> category. Here, the <b>jBPM |
| Process Diagram </b>wizard is specifically designed to create a process suitable for deployment to the jBPM engine. |

| <p class=MsoNormal> |
| The first, and only, page of this wizard asks for a Process Name which, when edited, automatically fills in appropriate values for the remaining fields (<b>Process ID</b> and <b>File Name</b>). |
| These can be edited as necessary. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p class=MsoNormal> |
| Also required is a <b>Package name</b>; this is an <a href="#_BPMN_2.0_Element">extension of the BPMN2 language</a> required by the jBPM engine. |

| |
| <p class=MsoNormal> |
| The optional checkbox labeled <b>Set jBPM Runtime as the default for this project</b> will create project settings appropriate for the jBPM Target Runtime. |
