Using BPMN2 Model in maven [message #1737245]

Hi,

im working on my thesis and want to create bpmn2 models. I thought, I can use the bpmn2 project hosted at eclipse.
I already found a quite old and outdated "BPMN 2.0 Metamodel Implementation for Eclipse: Get it and Use it". I managed to make the source code being referenced there to compile by adding:

<dependency>
<groupId>org.eclipse.emf</groupId>
<artifactId>ecore</artifactId>
<version>2.3.0-v200706262000</version>
<type>jar</type>
</dependency>

to the dependencies. Unfortunately, its running into a couple of NoClassDefFoundErrors during runtime. Is there any way to use the API from maven only? Seems like black magic to get the needed dependencies and would be quite happy about any hint allowing me to write a bpmn2 file.

Thanks,
Bert

Hi Bert,

The update sites for the BPMN2 metamodel plugin are here:

http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/mdt/bpmn2/updates/<eclipse_platform>/<version>

for example:

http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/mdt/bpmn2/updates/mars/1.2.1

I think you need to include a <repository> definition in your parent pom.xml that points to one of these update sites - I'm not aware of any public maven repositories that mirror this plugin (e.g. maven.org or codehaus.org) So, something like this:

	<repositories>
               ...
		<repository>
			<id>eclipse-bpmn2</id>
			<url>http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/mdt/bpmn2/updates/neon/1.3.0/</url>
			<layout>p2</layout>
			<snapshots>
				<enabled>true</enabled>
			</snapshots>
			<releases>
				<enabled>true</enabled>
			</releases>
		</repository>

Also, maybe this will help:

Cheers,
Bob
