<div class="jive-rendered-content"><p>I found two different  BPMN2 designer plugins for Eclipse.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>1) <strong>One is part of jbpm-5.2.0.Final-installer-full.zip package</strong> (downloaded from JBPM/SourceForde project).</p><p>Details: bpm-5.2.0.Final-installer-full.zip/jbpm-installer/lib/org.drools.updatesite-5.3.1.Final-assembly.zip</p><p>You have to unzip bpm-5.2.0.Final-installer-full.zip, then unzip org.drools.updatesite-5.3.1.Final-assembly.zip. You will see familiar Eclipse plugin structure – subdirectories like plugins and features, contentts.jar and artifacts.jar. Important is the site.xml, which make this directory a full blown local Eclipse update site. Add this to  your Eclipse “Available Software Sites”.</p><p><em>Details: Help → Install New Software → Add it ot “Available Software Sites” → Local (button) → ..and now you will see “Drools and jBPM” - select JBoss jBMP Core and Task subcategories. </em></p><p>Currently in version 5.3.1 final.</p><p>Why it is not already available online? What is the issue?</p><p>Interestingly, stencil looks a bit differently then those in jPDL documentation:</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>Screenshot:</p><p><a href="http://espinosa.s3.amazonaws.com/screenshots/Ecllipse%20bpmn2%20designer%20screenshot%201.png"><span> http://espinosa.s3.amazonaws.com/screenshots/Ecllipse%20bpmn2%20designer%20screenshot%201.png </span></a></p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>2) The other one is from online update site “<a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://codehoop.com/bpmn2">http://codehoop.com/bpmn2</a>” - <strong>CodeHoop</strong></p><p>It offers:<br/>BPMN2 Editor - 0.0.1.201109262118<br/>BPMN2 Project Feature – 0.7.0.201109262118 (??)</p><p>Stencil looks a bit more differently then those in jPDL documentation or from previous plugin.<br/>It contains much more stencils on the palette. Has this designer got full BPMN2 support?</p><p>There is no information about this plugin on company pages – <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://codehoop.com/">http://codehoop.com/</a>. No documentation.</p><p>Review of an early version: <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://kverlaen.blogspot.com/2011/02/new-bpmn-20-eclipse-editor.html">http://kverlaen.blogspot.com/2011/02/new-bpmn-20-eclipse-editor.html</a> </p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>3) There is actually a third one. Directly from Eclipse guys. Not (?) associated to JBoss project. It seems to be in an early stages of development. See:<br/><a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://www.eclipse.org/proposals/soa.bpmn2-modeler/">http://www.eclipse.org/proposals/soa.bpmn2-modeler/</a> </p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>Which one do <strong>you</strong> use?</p><p>Espinosa</p></div>
