On July 5 2007 ,  SAP and Obeo hosted an [http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/stp-dev/msg00748.html open webex] demonstration of their  respective SCA Composite Designer technologies. On this page you will find a number of screenshots of the tooling that was demonstrated on the webex.  Discussions focussed on the technical details of each solution, and reaching of the consensus on cooperation. The individual tools are very complementary in nature - the SAP Tool works in ''bottom-up'' fashion, discovering composites that have been developed in code and producing a graphical representation; the Obeo tool works in a ''top-down'' manner, allowing the creation of composites first, and then the generation of model code. The Obeo code already takes a dependency on STP, using the annotation framework that is part of the BPMN Modeler.

SAP and Obeo have decided together to move forward with an initial contribution of the Obeo composite designer code ([https://dev.eclipse.org/ipzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1601 IPZilla entry]), and then to use that contributions as the basis for a merge of the SAP-developed SCA component introspections.

The SCA Composite designer is a graphical tool for constructing SCA composites. The tool will provide both bottom-up and top-down methods for constructing standard SCA 1.0 composites.
