Workflow process XPDL files are opened in the ProEd plugin editor. These files must be in the current Eclipse workspace to be accessible and are handled in the normal Eclipse fashion via the Package Explorer view.
The Eclipse Package Explorer
An XPDL file can be opened in the ProEd editor in the normal Eclipse fashion by:
An XPDL file in the currently selected ProEd editor can be saved by:
An XPDL file can be deleted from the Eclipse workspace by right clicking on the desired file in the Package Explorer and selecting Delete from the context menu.
The SaveAs Dialog
The "SaveAs" dialog allows saving a project with a new version. The version is a property of the project itself and is not dependent on the filename. However, the recommended filename format is: "projectName_version.xpdl".
The current version is displayed, along with buttons to increment the minor version or the major version. This is the only way to change the version, and either the minor or the major version can be incremented, but only by one.
Enter or select a parent folder. Select the appropriate button to increment to the desired version. If desired, change the file name in the "File name" text box, and press the OK button.
The "SaveAs" dialog allows saving a project to a new file. Enter or select a parent folder. Type a new file name into the "File name" text box and press the OK button.
When doing "SaveAs", it is possible to select an existing file to overwrite. Enter or select a parent folder and enter an existing File name and click the OK button. A dialog will appear to confirm your intent to overwrite the existing file.
Note that attempting to "SaveAs", and selecting a file that is currently in use will result in a error dialog.
A Workflow Repository is provided on the server for storage of workflow project files. In the previous non-Eclipse version of ProEd, this repository was directly accessible from within ProEd. In the Eclipse plugin version, Workflow Repository files can be accessed by Exporting and Importing them to and from the remote Workflow Repository.
In the Package Explorer, right click on the level of the workspace under which you want the imported file to appear. Choose Import from the context menu.
This will bring up the Import Select dialog:

In the Package Explorer, right click on the principal file or directory that you want to export and choose Export from the context menu. If you are not already in the connected mode, the Logon dialog will be presented to allow you to logon. This will bring up the Export Selection dialog which is just like the Import Selection dialog. Select Other -> Workflow Repository and click Next>
This will bring up a standard Eclipse Export wizard:
