The issue is about Variable property dialog in the BPEL editor. This dialog appears when user either create or edit a variable. The dialog contains the tree with type chooser. It is intended to specify a type of the variable. Now the chooser has some limitations, which has to be overcame. -- It´s impossible to choose a type from another projects according to projects' dependency. -- It´s impossible to choose a type from a schema if it is imported or included to another schema. Now there are root level schemas only. The schema node has to have the "Referenced schemas" node inside in order to provide access to such schemas. You can see WSDL or Schema editors for example. It is mostly important in case, when a top level schema includes another schema which doesn't have target namespace. If the user gos to the imported schema through the "Referenced schemas" node, then the chosen type should get the namespace of including schema. It looks like the only way to resolve such case. It's also suggested, but is still arguable, to get rid of the "Show Imported Files only" check-box. The chooser's tree should show all available files. Those which isn't imported can be shown not at the root level, but be moved to the special folder: "Not imported files".
The new simplified implementation of the type chooser tree can be used here. It can be taken from the BPEL Mapper --> Type Cast org.netbeans.modules.bpel.mapper.cast.TypeChooserTreeModel
It was done by me recently in context of the issue 151219.
Tested and verified using 11/24 build and was able to create variables from referenced schemas.
