    Graphical Process Designer

    smaric

      An using the eclipse plug-in for JBpm 3.0

      My process diagram has grown to be quite large - with layers of Fork / Joins and loops to reflect 'Case statement' type choices at various levels

      I want to clean it up and think using superstates may be appropriate

      There doesn't seem to be any GUI Design support for Superstates - is this coming soon


      Secondly - it would be good to be able to select / drag /drop multiple components (around a diagram) at the same time

          The superstates are definitely coming. I created a JIRA issue for it (http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBPM-294). Currently we are working on swimlane support and the look and feel of the diagrams, so it is not (yet) high on the priority list.

            And what about process-state -

            Example from the User Guide
            <process-definition name="hire">
            <start-state>

            </start-state>
            <process-state name="initial interview">
            <sub-process name="interview" />
            <variable name="a" access="read,write" mapped-name="aa" />
            <variable name="b" access="read" mapped-name="bb" />

            </process-state>
            ...
            </process-definition>

              SMaric, could you use more desciptive subjects for posts in the future, something like

              [gpd] Complex processes /superstates

              instead of

              Graphical Process Designer

              You can and may leave the [gpd] out if you want

              • 4. [GPD] use of colours
                smaric

                Would it be possible to have the various Node rectangles dsiplayed in different colours - ideally user configurable

                Task-node == Blue
                State-node == Green
                Process-State-node == Orange
                SuperState-node == Magenta


                I don't care what colours - just something to help identify what's what on a diagram

                Perhaps a 'tooltip' style information sumarypop-up whenyou hover over an item might be better

                anyhow just a few thoughts while I'm evaluating JBpm/GPD

                  Yes, we are at the moment working on a richer graphical representation. We will most probably use the << stereotype >> UML-ish notation to distinguish between different node types.

                    I want to know if is possible to download the new GPD 3.0.4 version.
                    Thank you at all!
