Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200709250000) Java: 1.6.0_01; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 1.6.0_01-b06 System:
Windows XP version 5.1 running on x86; Cp1252; en_US (nb)

I am stepping through  "Creating a Loan Processing Composite Application" at
http://www.netbeans.org/kb/60/soa/loanprocessing.html

In the "Creating the BPEL Process" section I try to do:

To add a receive activity:

   1. In the Web Service section of the Palette, select the Receive icon and drag your selection to the Design area
between the Process Start activity and the Process End activity.
      The IDE provides you with visual clues to show you where you can drop the selection.
      This action places a receive activity called Receive1 in the Design view.
   2. Double-click the Receive1 activity.
      The Receive1 [Receive] Property Editor opens.
   3. Change the value in the Name field to ReceiveFromCustomer.
   4. From the Partner Link drop-down list, select BpelImplementation.
      The IDE fills in the Operation field with LoanRequestorOperation.
   5. Click the Create button next to the Input Variable field and in the New Input Variable dialog box, accept the
default values and click OK.
      This creates a new input variable called LoanRequestorOperationIn.
   6. Click OK to close the Receive1 [Receive] - Property Editor.
      The receive activity is now labeled ReceiveFromCustomer in the Design view and a connection is shown between the
BpelImplementation partner link and the receive activity in the LoanRequestor process.
---------------------

However at Step #4, selecting BpelImplementation as the Partner Link does NOT automatically fill in the Operation field
with LoanRequestorOperation.  Nor is it manually selectable in the Operation field drop-down.  Consequentially in Step
#5 the Create button is not enabled.

I am then dead in the water (showstopped) unless I manually hack it into the BEPL, I suppose.

Of course I searched existing issuezilla bugs, found related but no exact matches.

See attached screenshot.
