Please take a look at our samples to get an idea on how to do that.

Good luck!

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

Ralph
