hi Robert,
I was trying lately to define my plugin extension which contains the extension of bpmn that I suggested theoretically, unfortunately, I founded some difficulty.
I'm presenting in my metamodel of extension (ecore file) 8 classes types EventDefinition and 2 classes types FlowElement (connection)
the major difficulty is to attribute the property tab to its EClass (no way to define property tab for each customtask)
I want also to show the properties of each shape on the diagram for clarity and semantic reasons.
there is anther problem that arises when I reopen a bpmn file output of my extension.
please could you answer my question as soon as possible Robert. Embarrassed

thank you very very much. Smile

Hi Mhammad,

I have been doing a lot of work in the area of extensibility because I've gotten a lot of questions and suggestions/requests to improve the API. The new API will be available shortly (by next week) so if you can hold on until then, it may solve all of your problems Wink

I still have a lot of testing to do to make sure nothing is broken! I'll also take the existing example plugins and convert them to use the new APIs, just to make sure things work as I had envisioned.

The idea is to use dynamic EMF to create extension EPackages, classes and features, instead of having to create an ecore file and generate java classes for your extension objects, although you should still be able to use that method as well. You will also be able to define these extensions in configuration files which are reloaded when created or modified.

Bob

I'm hoping to have this done by end of this week which, according to my work schedule, is Sunday March 2 Wink

I'll post a new topic on this forum when the new build is ready.
This will be version 1.1.0 because the API changes require a new minor version number.
