The "Initialize bpmn_diagram diagram from model file" feature is having problems with initializing diagram files for models containing either Subprocesses and/or Lanes. - In case the model contains a Subprocess, the Subprocess Node will be broken (wrong icon, no children, cannot be moved, etc.) and the diagram can not be saved - In case the model contains a Lane, the Lane will not be visualized correctly and the relation of Activities to Lanes might not be correct (as it was in the model). Each time when moving an Activity, the respective Lane will grow in size (and with it the pool). After the Lanes have been removed from the Pool everything works as normal again. Although this is a native feature of GMF, the source of the problem seems to lie in the STP BPMN editors, as there are no such problems with other GMF based editors. Tested on Eclipse 3.4, GMF 2.1.0, STP BPMN 1.0 (Ganymede) and STP BPMN from SVN. The problem with this bug is that it somewhat hinders export/import to STP BPMN, as for most generated models no diagram files can be created.
Same happens for me, using version 1.0.2 of the stp bpmn modeler adding a subprocess to a bpmn diagram and running 'Initialize bpmn_diagram diagram' breaks the diagram. is there any chance that this is getting fixed - or any workaround? i'd like to import bpmn models into the modeler, so having this diagram generation functionality would be great...
This feature is offered by GMF and it sounds like we will need to create our own to have containers be handled separately. It is possible to reorganize the layout of a diagram using the layout provider though. At this time, we have no cycles to implement this and we are entering the end game for Galileo.
