BPMN event icons

[Stuart H]

Have been using the BPMN plugin recently. Quite nice to use but was disappointed that standard BPMN graphics are not all available. e.g. different event icons with envelope to represent message, error and compensation event icons etc. Also looping indicators on tasks and subtasks.

Will this be coming in future releases?

Thanks.

Stuart,

Not sure about indicators, but I think there is a way to do the event icons as you require. Search the forum in the last couple of months, although I think 30 days might be enough. I don't remember which section.

If there is not a similar way to handle the indicators - but first experiment when you find the above solution - try submitting this via the Help / On-line Resources / Request a Feature menu.

Awesome!

It's amazing what you can learn from reading a help file. I hadn't found this before thinking the add-in help might have shown up in the main help (aka eclipse plugins).  

I can also see now through the tagged values how you can actually support BPEL generation in the future.

Thanks heaps.

On the BPEL thing, I know this has been discussed in the context of an upcoming feature in EA. I do not know if this has definitely been adopted, nor do I know of a time frame if it has. My guess is that it might show up in 6.5; otherwise I suspect we'll see it whenever 7.0 rolls around.

I am looking forward to this, since what BPMN interest there is around here is generally coupled with BPEL.
