Hello,
I'm looking for a way to provide BPMN model designer in Eclipse with additional functionality based on the existing model elements on canvas, so that when the user selects an element, I can access the node object clicked on, and be able to get the list of connected nodes to the label and so on. As an extension to this, I want to also customize context menu when right-clicking on elements, so more options appear on the list and assign functionality to those options. How are these possible? If yes, are there tutorials on how to do that?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Mahdi,
thanks for your interest in Eclipse BPMN2.
Since the Eclipse BPMN Plugin is a bit outdated over the years, we have started a completely new project - Open-BPMN
Open BPMN follows a complete new approach and is based on the Eclipse GLSP modelling framework. Within Open-BPMN we provide a general support for BPMN 2.0 Extensions (see details here) and in general the platform offers much more extension possibilities due to the openness of GLSP.
Open-BPMN/GLSP is based on modern web technologies which makes it much easier to extend the platform in various ways. Also the tool can be run in different environments including Eclipse, VSCode, and the Theia platform.
All your requirements can be achieved within the new platform. Maybe you can take a closer look into the project.
