    Installing/Building BPMN2 Editor for eclipse

    mpgong

      Hello,

       

      I'm trying to get the new BPMN editor mentioned here http://kverlaen.blogspot.com/2011/02/new-bpmn-20-eclipse-editor.html working but i'm unable to.

       

      Following the wiki, it mentions pulling the editor from the update site, http://codehoop.com/bpmn2.  But this site seems to be invalid so i can't get the plugin without having the build it myself.

       

      So when i try to build it i get this error,

       

      java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Service is not registered class='interface org.eclipse.tycho.p2.metadata.ProxyServiceFacade'
      

       

      So i'm not sure how to go about getting this up and running.  I prefer to use this editor vs the one that jbpm provides since it matches more with the web editor.

       

      Could someone explain how i can be go about to getting this editor set up in eclipse?

       

      Thank you.

          Just tried to install the plugin according to https://github.com/imeikas/BPMN2-Editor-for-Eclipse/blob/master/README and everything when fine. Update site is working ok, although it is not accessible with browser but eclipse update (Install New Software) can access it successfully.

           

          What kind of problems do you get when trying to use this update site?

            I'm getting a can not find site in eclipse.  Which is probably due to the proxy i have to go through.  The site apparently isn't trusted and requires me to login to get it pass our proxy.  Chances are this is what is causing eclipse to not fail.

             

            Since i probably can't use the update site, does anyone know how i can build it from the source?

             

            Thanks

              Ok, i was able to build from source by creating a feature project and pulling in the source from Git.

               

              When exporting the feature it built all of the plugins as well.  I dropped this into eclipse and it looks to be working ok.

               

              However, it seems that the diagrams i author with this editor, do not appear to be compatible with the guvnor web process authoring tool.  I can't seem to load the file once i add it to guvnor.

               

              Is that suppose to be the case or am i doing something wrong?  The original jbpm editor works fine for the most part as documented.

               

              Thanks
