My first BPMN process
Creating the diagram
Let's create our first Hello World process. Let's create a simple project:
And give it an appropriate name.
You can create a new BPMN diagram by selecting the Examples category in the creation wizard.
The wizard is very straight-forward, all you need is to indicate a folder and a file name.
After clicking on Finish, you will see two new files appearing in the project.
You can double-click on the bpmn_diagram file to open it as an editor. The diagram initially contains one pool and a task.
You can use the palette to drop elements on the diagram. The palette can either be shown as a different view, or attached to the diagram.
Tips and tricks
Change activityType Rich Copy/Paste to document. Linking documents to the diagram.
Reusing the modeler
Connecting to the modeler
Create a BPMN factory that generates fragments of BPMN imported into a diagram. In this scenario, a BPEL process is instrumented into a BPMN pool. It exposes the sequences and gateways of the BPEL as BPMN shapes. It keeps annotations that link to the original BPEL markup. See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=171084
