[stp-dev] Extending the BPMN Modeler with a custom plugin
|
Hi,
I have a question about the right way to extend the BPMN Modeler. I
developed a Eclipse based Workflow Modeler for our Open Source Workflow
System "Imixs Workflow" about the last 4 years.
This eclipse plugin is for modeling workflow models to be processed by
the Imixs Worklfow System. The model is simple but handles a lot of
technical application specific attributes.
http://workflow.imixs.org/doc/modeler/
http://www.imixs.com/documentation/ix_modeler.nsf
Now I think its time to integrate our modeling tool into the BPMN
Modeler. As BPMN fullfills in general all requirements for modeling
workflows it should be doable to integrate the technical requirements
for the Imixs Workflow to the bpmn plugin.
But to start I need a little bit help from you.
As you can see in this screenshot
http://www-02.imixs.com:8081/roller/imixsworkflow/resource/ix-modeler/eclipse_2-6_02.gif
we provide a lot of "org.eclipse.ui.views.properties.tabbed.propertyTabs"
My goal is to obtain these classes. What I whant to do is to add a new
visual element which should occur on the outgoingEdge from a bpmn
Activity. When the user selects this element the Imixs Propety Tabs
should be available in the property view. So the user can add the
technical informations for the Imxis Workflow System to a specific edge
outgoing from an activity.
How is it possible to extend the behavior of an sequenceEdge element in
a way that it includes an additional visual element and that the
property Tabs are extended by a new tab group where I can place my
existing tabs?
Thanks for any help
