Lunar Ocean

We have worked hard on the BPMN modeler and have a few things to show off.

Some semantic changes

• Associations can target sequence and messaging edges.

At the semantic level only. We are actively working on making it possible to connect them in the diagram.

• Pools hold messaging edges.

We haven’t worked on making it possible in the editor as well, but the semantic model accepts those now.

Support for BPMN 1.1

We are heading for basic support of BPMN 1.1. You can deactivate it in the BPMN Diagrams preference page.

• Signal events

They really don’t look good yet, and we are looking for help on that
.

• The look and feel of shapes is BPMN 1.1 compliant

More

• We have added the link and multiple events to the palette.

We miss images for those items right now, as well as the ones for the signal event. Working on that bit.

• Only one connection handle shows at a time in the diagram.

We wanted to have only one connection handle showing at a time. That way when you mouse over the shapes, they don’t animate all at the same time.

• Terminate events are better centered



• Improvements over lanes


Lanes can now have a background color, and they resize in a better way that they used to.

• We have fixed a pesky bug when using the BPMN modeler in a different editing domain.

We hope you enjoy those improvements, will be inspired by them and will give us a hand at the next Eclipse bug day!
