Integrating jBPM BPMNModelEditor with eclipse RCP

created by Lokesh Shiva Ramu in jBPM - View the full discussion

Hi,

 

I have to integrate BPMNModelEditor with my RCP client.  I need to show the BPMNModelEditor as a page in a multipage editor.  None of the classes in the plugin "org.drools.eclipse" are exported, therefore I cannot use them.  No other means provided to plug to this editor.  When I try to open this editor by passing an IStorageEditorInput instance.  I get following exceptions.

 

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unknown model object null

    at org.drools.eclipse.flow.ruleflow.editor.editpart.RuleFlowEditPartFactory.createEditPart(RuleFlowEditPartFactory.java:96)

What I could see from code is, there is an assumption that the IEditorInput to the editor will always be of type IFileEditorInput.  The createModel() function in BPMNModelEditor, does a type cast with this assumption.  If there is a failure in constructing model, then null is set as model.

 

Can BPMNModelEditor be integrated with RCP application.  What is the best way to provide a jBPM editor in eclipse RCP.  I am not particular to open the jBPM editor as part of page.  Even if its a standalone page its fine.  I cannot show .jbpm files in my RCP.  I need to open jBPM editor based on stream based editor input.

 

Any one who has integrated the BPMNModelEditor in there RCP application ?

 

Any suggestion is hightly appreciated.

 

Thanks and Regards,

Lokesh
