Hi Nick,

In addition to what Vitaly wrote.

OpenESB is a project which provides integration capabilities. It
includes run-time engines (e.g., bpel, XSLT) and bindings (e.g., file,
webservices, jms, email). These runtime pieces are (JBI) plugins for
Glassfish. For each of these service engines and bindings OpenESB also
includes design time components. Each of the design time pieces is a
plugin to netbeans - specifically netbeans 6.1.

So OpenESB is something that builds on the core netbeans and glassfish
platforms.

However, to make life a little confusing, if you simply download
netbeans or glassfish you often get a few small pieces of OpenESB
included by default. This seems to be what you have discovered.
Sometimes these few small pieces will just work. However, to be sure
that you have everything you need, I suggest using the GlassfishESB or
OpenESB installer. It includes Glassfish and NetBeans with all the
relevant runtime and designtime plugins.

The only issue is that, as Vitaly pointed out, OpenESB is still using
netbeans6.1 for its design time environment.

I have, in this time, read several documents from OpenESB (including the one you point me to) which describe a similar but not identitical functionality in the area of File Binding.
