eschabell Aug 24, 2011 1:13 PM (in response to code_monkey)Hi Chris,
Here is a short post about doing just that with the JBoss Dev Studio, which is an older version of eclipse. I hope maybe you just missed something listed here: http://www.schabell.org/2011/03/jboss-developer-studio-40-how-to-add_23.html
Hope it helps, erics

code_monkey Aug 25, 2011 12:02 PM (in response to eschabell)Thanks, Eric. I looked at your page, but I still have the exceptions when trying to create workflows with the editor. Even a tip on how to remove the editor would be appreciated, since I can't even use the old editor (which worked) now.

I was quite successful with the BPMN 2.0 Plugin. However, I get the same exceptions with it as with the Oryx Web Modeller. After manually moving some tags, the engine starts to understand.
You can deinstall it as follows:
Go to help, then Install New Software
Above, click already installed (the blue link). Select the plugin.
Uninstall ...

tsurdilovic Aug 25, 2011 9:49 PM (in response to tob1as)Tobias, the Eclipse BPMN2 plugin uses eclipse.bpmn2 just like the web Designer. I will make sure guys working on it can pick up any changes to the eclipse.bpmn2 ecore model that we fix for the designer.

tsurdilovic Aug 25, 2011 9:51 PM (in response to code_monkey)This is a biased opinion of course, but I think you should really give the web Designer a try. It has independent release cycles from jBPM and we can turn around fixes fairly quickly and make sure you get them in a release much faster.

tob1as Aug 25, 2011 11:16 PM (in response to tsurdilovic)I am also much happier with the web designer. It is a bit more intuitive and there is more manual work involved with the eclipse plugin. However, sometimes I use the bpmn2 eclipse plugin to enrich things.

eschabell Aug 26, 2011 1:57 AM (in response to tsurdilovic)Hi Tihomir!
When I get loose from my day job again (bit flooded since returning from vacation) I will try to feed you some input on the turnaround when using that designer together with the embedded old Drools designer in Eclipse.
I am working on the jBPM Migration project and it is really a pain to even try to adhere to the thre (3) different designers when migrating a jPDL design to BPMN2. So far I have been hampered to using only the Drools designer as my basic target display. This means I have been creating 'domain specific' nodes when wanting to try and display a non-exitant Gateway for example (there are only 2 avail).
Anyway, nice to meet you, hope to provide input sometime in the near future, maybe use your designer as my target! ;-)
PS. I have not looked, but does that designer have an XML view?

tsurdilovic Aug 26, 2011 9:54 AM (in response to tob1as)Yes, currently standard Guvnor asset source view popup window. We will keep improving this over time, for example short-term https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBPM-3322. And we will keep adding new features to the toolbar when Designer editor is used.
Hope this helps.

I get the exceptions during modelling, when I try to add a node or event. It just reports the exception and doesn't place the node. I get different exceptions when I try to open old previous models (.bpmn files). It doesn't successfully open them.
Here's the first few lines of the exception I get:
!ENTRY org.eclipse.ui 4 0 2011-08-24 08:55:16.930
!MESSAGE Unhandled event loop exception
!STACK 0

I DO have graphiti installed, though it's a newer version than the one mentioned in the docs. The old one isn't available anymore, from what I can tell. Even so, the newer version should be backwards compatible with the old version, no?
Thanks for any pointers!

tsurdilovic Aug 29, 2011 10:58 AM (in response to code_monkey)Sounds very similar as reported bug https://github.com/imeikas/BPMN2-Editor-for-Eclipse/issues/3, even tho I cannot find a JBPM Jira for it like indicated would be done in the comment.

13. Re: Eclipse BPMN 2.0 Plugin
v.g Sep 4, 2011 5:16 PM (in response to code_monkey)I got the same problem. I tried to search other resources without success. I see that the bug is not assigned to anyone.
So the only solution for the moment seems to be downgrading to the previous version. I uninstalled the plugins, then I restarted from version 0.7.2 of Graphiti.
