Hi Bjorn, thanks for your questions. On the EPF page you find a link to Getting Started material that should help you understand and use the EPF Composer tool. Please refer to: http://www.eclipse.org/epf/general/getting_started.php
Briefly explaining, you can use EPF Composer tool (the software part) to create your own process description, or use anyone of the many process descriptions (the documentation part, if you will) available as part of this project, such the ones you mentioned: - OpenUP - a minimal, complete, and extensible process based on agile and UP principles - ABRD - Agile Business Rules Development guidance for projects that involve developing business rules - DSDM, Scrum, XP are also available as part of the project. In order to open these libraries, simply unzip the *library*.zip file in your local file system and point Composer to open the library.xmi file. This scenario is useful if you want to publish the out-of-the-box content yourself, or extend/reuse this content. However, if you want to use the out-of-the-box content as is, you can simply unzip the *published*.zip of your choice, and run index.htm - it will open your Internet browser and you will be able to navigate the published content. Do you have to install all of them? It depends on what you are looking for. Are you interested in following one of these particular methods or document/use one defined by your organization? I hope this reply adds some clarity and addresses your questions. But please look at the Getting Started session of the EPF web site for more material, such as articles, demo recordings, and such. And send further questions to this group at anytime. Regards, Ricardo Balduino.

On the http://www.eclipse.org/epf/ page I found no simple instructions: What do I have to download, what could/should I download, how should I configure the beast? I have installed the epf-composer, the software starts when I click on epf.exe, that is easy. But then there are other things, like: EPF Practices 1.5.0.1 - Library (epf_practices_library-1.5.0.1-20081027.zip), Published Web site (epf_practices_published-1.5.0.1-20081027.zip), ABRD published Web site (abrd_published-1.5-20081022.zip) What are they good for? Do I have to install them? What part of epf is is documentation and framework and what is software? The epf composer appears to run independently from eclipse.exe itself, is there no integration? There is also DSDM_OpenUP? Do I have to/should I install them? Thank you for any help.
