BPEL Views
You can perform source level editing as well as visual designing, through the views
provided by the BPEL Designer. The BPEL Designer will perform round-trip two-way
engineering to ensure that the Design view and Source view remain synchronized
with each other. The IDE will automatically re-parse the BPEL source file and rebuild
the diagram every time you edit the BPEL file through the Source view.
BPEL Design view is the default view and it is the view that gets invoked
whenever you create a new BPEL module. To switch to the corresponding
place in the Source view, right-click an element in the Design view and
select Go to Source (Alt-O).
Source and Design View are always in-sync.

Design View
The Design view is the diagram view. The Design view and the Source view are
fully synchronized to do two-way forward and reverse engineering. If you use the
Design view to author your process, you will be restricted to adding some language
constructs that may not be supported by the BPEL runtime.
The Design view is a business process designer, where you can author a diagram of
your business process. In the Design view, you add, edit, and delete BPEL activities.
The diagram constructed in the Design view is automatically generated into BPEL
source code which is compliant with the WS-BPEL 2.
