Make sure you have logged in to JBoss BPM Suite or you are in JBoss Developer Studio with the repository connected.

To create a Process, do the following:

Open the Project Authoring perspective (Authoring Project Authoring).
In Project Explorer (Project Authoring Project Explorer), navigate to the project where you want to create the Process definition (in the Project view, select the respective repository and project in the drop-down lists; in the Repository view, navigate to REPOSITORY/PROJECT/src/main/resources/ directory).
Creating packages
It is recommended to create your resources, including your Process definitions, in a package of a Project to allow importing of resources and their referencing. To create a package, do the following:
- In the Repository view of the Project Explorer, navigate to the REPOSITORY/PROJECT/src/main/resources/ directory.
- Go to New Item Package.
- In the New resource dialog, define the package name and check the location of the package in the repository.
From the perspective menu, go to New Item Business Process.
In the New Processes dialog box, enter the Process name and click OK. Wait until the Process Editor with the Process diagram appears.
