Bug 768196

Description of problem:

To enter a process variable, the user needs to know the internal format and type the variables types/names as follows:

var1:String,var2:Integer

This format is unintuitive and error-prone. It is best that a dialog would be created for entering process variables where the variable name would be input in one field while another field would allow the user to pick from common types (first the default ones such as String and Integer, then possibly imported fact types) or enter a class name. An example of this can be found on the Edit tab of a package in Guvnor when you try to add a Global, except that including common types such as String and Integer is critical in this case.
