Re: [bpmn2-modeler-dev] New release and Bug Hunt Contest announcement

Hi,

Great News :)

I've download and play with this release of BPMN Modeler.

I'm evaluating the porting of our tools ( actually still based on BPMN 1
modeler ) to the BPMN2 Modeler.

I've some question doubt, that i want to share.

1) I've not clear how the palette is configured according to the wizard used
to create the BPMN diagram.

For example i've notice that if i use the "New Generic BPMN2 Diagram" and then i choose "Process" ( in the dialog box ) i'm not able to add Pools on the diagram beacuse they're not present.
Instead if i choose "Collaboration" i'am able to add Pools.

In my opinion does not really make sense the disticntion between "Process" and "Collaboration" on the wizard. Instead the distinction between Collaboration and Coreography make sense :).

2) When i try to use more than one lanes on a single Pool, the editor does not look
like as i expected, and i'm not able to place tasks in lanes inside a Pool.
Is this a known bug??? I think it's perfectly legal to use multiple lanes within "Pools"
Any Thought???

3) I like very much, the option to use "Manhattan Style" connection routers. By the way i think
this should be the "default".

4) Is there a mechanism to autolayout a BPMN2 file not created with the BPMN2 Modeler?? A useful requirements is to open with the modeler bpmn2 file not created with then BPMN2 Modeler.

5) The last question, is more from developer point fo view. I'm interested to know if there is some documentation about the mechanism to extend and customize the editor.
In particular i'm interested in

5.1) Mechanism to personalize Palette Behaviour ( I see there's another wizard related to JBPM that
provide something like these but it's not clear to me how it's working )

5.2) Mechanism to define runtimes and integrate into the editor

5.3) I there a way to perform some DnD on the editor ( Actually i'm using a lot some features of BPMN 1 Editor ) that defines extension points, to customize DnD operations enabling the
underlying EMF model to be annotated with EAnnotation


Just my two cents...

Hi y'all!

Version 0.2.7 of the BPMN2 Modeler is now available. Please see the What's New Page [1] for more information.

The BPMN2 Modeler project has been in development for over a year now and this will be the last version during the incubation stage before what we hope will be a 1.0 graduation release.

The push for "zarro boogs found" is on and we're counting on you, the user community, to help us find the last few remaining bugs. Of course, you will be rewarded for your efforts in more ways than just the simple satisfaction of knowing you have contributed to the project to help make it the best BPMN 2.0 design tool available. Please see the contest rules on Zarroboogsfound.com for details.

Thanks to everyone in the eclipse user community for your help!
