Free BPEL designers

In a comment to BPEL Designer 10.1.3 Gaurav asks if there are any free BPEL designer tools. I’m aware of the following free bpel designers:

• Oracle JDeveloper, which includes a BPEL designer. The BPEL designer was originally developed for Eclipse by collaxa, but after Oracle bought it they ported it to JDeveloper. JDeveloper is free to use.
• ActiveBPEL Designer. Used to be a 30 day free evaluation, but now a free tool. Not open source, as far as i can tell. Plugin for Eclipse.

And some that aren’t really finished:

• Netbeans Enterprise pack. Free and Open Source, but it seems to be beta software right now.
• Apache ODE. Still in incubator, so probably not production ready. Based on Fivesight PXE BPEL engine. I’m not sure it also includes a BPEL designer.
• Eclipse BPEL Project. Still seems to be in development. But the Eclipse BPEL screenshot looks promissing.

While searching for free BPEL design tools i found this article on eWeek: Building an Open-Source SOA. It offers an overview of all the open source components you can use to implement the different parts of an open source SOA, like components for messaging, SOAP, ESB, and orchestration.

What free BPEL designers did i miss?
