1. Can jBPM5 process rule flow (.rf) files? Yes, this is supported for backwards compatibility reasons. We do recommend using the BPMN2 format for new processes though (as newer features are not backported to the .rf format).
2. How does the handling of BPMN in jBPM5 compare with Drools Flow 5.1? There were limitations in Drools Flow 5.1 (http://downloads.jboss.com/drools/docs/5.1.1.34858.FINAL/drools-flow/html_single/index.html#d0e2782). Our flows make use of State nodes, which weren't supported in BPMN - is this still the case? If so, is there an alternative way of implementing similar behaviour in the BPMN spec.? Some of the limitations have already been resolved (globals, imports) using custom extensions. Unfortunately, states are not supported directly in BPMN 2.0. An alternative to model them as an ad-hoc subprocess or using intermediate events might be possible but seems tricky to say the least. So states are not supported in jBPM 5.0. We're looking at adding support for them in 5.1, probably as a custom node type.
