How to get the most of the BPMN modeler | © 2008 by Antoine Toulme and Hugues Malphettes; made available under the EPL v1.0 Modelling in BPMN BPMN is used to represent business processes  Business process are both representing sequential actions for a participant and messages between several participants.  We choose to represent one participant with one pool The sample we will model together could potentially be modelled in different ways  We made certain choices to show you as many cool features as possible  Please pardon our business analysts skills: if you see something out of place in there, please open a bug about it.

9. How to get the most of the BPMN modeler | © 2008 by Antoine Toulme and Hugues Malphettes; made available under the EPL v1.0 Annotations The BPMN semantic model is a simple model oriented towards the best graphical representation Annotations are needed to add more meaning to shapes  BPMN and interoperability models (STP-IM)‏  Extra information to add capabilities (open a file for example)‏  Proprietary extensions

10. How to get the most of the BPMN modeler | © 2008 by Antoine Toulme and Hugues Malphettes; made available under the EPL v1.0 The annotations framework The BPMN modeler offers an annotation framework  Add annotations to shapes by drag and drop  Add and manage annotations by other means (see the participants view example)‏  Decorate shapes with annotations  Filter annotation decorations by context

11. How to get the most of the BPMN modeler | © 2008 by Antoine Toulme and Hugues Malphettes; made available under the EPL v1.0 The annotation coding sample Annotate a diagram with bug references  Ideally you would like to have a Mylin task view, and drop bugs on your diagram.  You want to keep track of the bug number on the shape. This coding sample also features the use of the BPMN generation API  Just a helper class to help you create semantic elements and their views without too much hassle.  More about the generation API in the BPEL to BPMN sample:  http://wiki.eclipse.org/STP/BPMN_Component/Samples#BPEL_to_ BPMN_generation

13. How to get the most of the BPMN modeler | © 2008 by Antoine Toulme and Hugues Malphettes; made available under the EPL v1.0 Extending the modeler Rebrand the modeler  You can rebrand the modeler by subclassing it Customize  You can customize pretty much everything.  Custom palette  Custom popup toolbar  Change the edit parts  Add menu items, toolbar items  Most of those customizations are made possible with the system of providers and services introduced by GMF.  Extending != regenerating and forking

15. How to get the most of the BPMN modeler | © 2008 by Antoine Toulme and Hugues Malphettes; made available under the EPL v1.0 Conclusion The BPMN modeler is a graphical modeler to model business processes. It is based on the best-of-breed Eclipse technologies  GMF, GEF, EMF It is highly extensible and oriented to consumption by developers. We want to grow the BPMN modeler community:  More documentation coming  Samples, samples, samples  Get community feedback to make the modeler even better
