Re: [bpmn-user] cannot create BPMN flow connection in Eclipse classic 3.4.1 and STPall_in_one04092007
The flow and message connection must connect to another task. So you should drag to a task in the same pool for the flow connection, and to a task in another pool for the message connection.

We have some samples and a new screenshot gallery that may help you:

Thanks,

Hello Antoine, thank you very much for your quick response!
 
yes, I am trying to create connection between tasks.
 
Here is what I did (attached is the screenshot)

 

  1. Mouse over the right edge of 1st task box
  2. It will show two arrows: solid line and dash line
    And this message "click and drag to create a connection"
    1. I tried to create connection of solid line,
      it show the cursor as right ( a 45-degree arrow and a stop sign underneath), and I am not able to create connection
    2. Then I tried to create connection of dash line
      It works. However if I save it, close eclipse, then come back to the
      BPMN diagram, the created dash line connection is gone.
  1. Then I tried the "flow connection" and "message connection", it show the same icon as 2a)


Once again, thank you very much!
John

Hello,

welcome to the user list!

To create a flow, you need to start on a task. So select the sequence flow tool in the palette, and link two activities with it.

The same thing goes with messages.

You can also create messages and sequence flows by using the anchors showing on the border of an activity.

Thanks,

Antoine

Hello, I tried to figure this out for 2 days but has no progress. I appreciate your insight!

My goal is to use Eclipse creating BPMN diagram, then print it...

I follow the instruction (http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/edu/os-dw-os-eclipse-stpatlode.html), which requires these two component installed.

1)Eclipse Classic: V3.3.1
2) Eclipse SOA Tools Platform (STP) VI200710300730


However I can only find these two version from eclipse.org:
1)eclipse-SDK-3.4.1-win32.zip, around 155MB
2)stp_all_in_one04092007.zip, around 56MB (from http://wiki.eclipse.org/STP_All_In_One_Package)


After Installation, I can create a project and then a BPMN diagram, but here is the problem, I try to create a flow connection, it won't let me to do so... when I use the drag and drop method to create the flow connection, there is always a stop sign display around the mouse, and it doesn't work. Same thing apply to Message connection...

Then I saw this: Eclipse Modeling Tools (includes Incubating components) 
eclipse-modeling-ganymede-SR1-incubation-win32.zip

is this component same as Eclipse SOA Tools Platform (STP)? should I use this instead of STP?


You help is greatly appreciated!

Steve
