I just had the opportunity to install scxml-eclipse and try it out, and I wanted to say that I agree with Chris's comments. 1 and 3, especially, are in my opinion showstoppers bugs that prevent the tool from being generally useful. I hope these can be resolved, because overall, everything else seems quite usable, and I'm eager to begin using it in development.
Also, before filing a bug report, I just wanted to check: does scxml-eclipse support creation of transitions without targets? Let me know.
