Ciao Daniela,

the tool (meaning the forms) OpenFlow uses to draw the Process Definitions is 
embedded. The Process Definitions themselves are not, of course.

Importing Process Definitions from WPDL is not possible right now, even 
though we are considering it as a feature to develop. Stay tuned on this list 
and you'll find out when the feature will be implemented.

Daniele =)
