If you don't care to  write  process definition xml by hand,  jBoss has a process design GUI available as an Eclipse plugin.   Here's a demo videoof using the GUI tool.

AF also supplies a Getting Started bundle.  Use this one instead; the readme.txt gives steps to point Eclipse to the jBPM runtime .

Process definitions may be deployed with the eclipse plugin.  The server deployer is /alfresco/jbpm/deployprocess .  Note that this is different from the default location that Eclipse suggests ( something like "/jbpm/deploy" ) . Note also that the process file must be called processdefinition.xml ; if it's called something else, there will be a deployment error and a log message that it couldn't find processdefinition.xml .
