Hello,

I want to create my elements programmatically. I have a Unity(C#) editor and when user drag and drop an element such as start event in Unity editor, text should be sent by socket to the my bpmn editor and start event should be created. How can i achieve this?

Regards
Umut Kazan

I am not sure if this is possible, because Eclipse BPMN2 is based on EMF and the Eclipse Graphiti project. The editor is based on visual editing only (I think). So even when you change the underlying BPMN file with your data send from your Editor this will not effect the graphical representation. This would only happen if you change EMF Object structure (by adding new or modifying existing objects).
So if you just change the bpmn file you need to close and reopen the editor.

                IWorkbench wb = PlatformUI.getWorkbench();
		IWorkbenchWindow window = wb.getActiveWorkbenchWindow();
		IWorkbenchPage page = window.getActivePage();
		IEditorPart editor = page.getActiveEditor();
		final SbpMultiPageEditor sbpMPE = (SbpMultiPageEditor) editor;
		IFeature createTask = (IFeature) getCreateFeature(shape.getType(), sbpMPE.getDesignEditor().getDiagramTypeProvider().getFeatureProvider());
		CreateContext createCon = new CreateContext();
		createCon.setX(shape.getX());
		createCon.setY(shape.getY());
		createCon.setHeight(-1);
		createCon.setWidth(-1);
		createCon.setTargetContainer(sbpMPE.getDesignEditor().getDiagramTypeProvider().getFeatureProvider().getDiagramTypeProvider().getDiagram());

		AbstractCreateFlowElementFeature createTaskFeature = (AbstractCreateFlowElementFeature) createTask;
		FlowElement element = (FlowElement) createBusinessObject(createCon, createTaskFeature.getBusinessObjectClass());
		element.setId(shape.getId());
		element.setName(shape.getName());
		if (element != null)
		{
			try
			{
				final ModelHandler handler = ModelHandler.getInstance(sbpMPE.getDesignEditor().getDiagramTypeProvider().getFeatureProvider()
						.getDiagramTypeProvider().getDiagram());
				final FlowElement finalElement = element;
				// System.out.println(finalElement);
				// handleProperties(finalElement);
				final CreateContext finalCreateCon = createCon;
				EditorUtil.ExecuteInTransactionalDomain(new IExecutable()
				{

					@Override
					public void execute()
					{

						handler.addFlowElement(BusinessObjectUtil.getBusinessObjectForPictogramElement(finalCreateCon.getTargetContainer()),
								finalElement);
						AddContext addContext = new AddContext(finalCreateCon, finalElement);
						sbpMPE.getDesignEditor().getDiagramTypeProvider().getFeatureProvider().addIfPossible(addContext);
					}
				}, sbpMPE.getDesignEditor().getEditingDomain());
			}
			catch (IOException e)
			{
				Activator.logError(e);
			}

		}


I don't know if this will help anybody because there are several custom methods and class but the idea is create the context and business object(flow element). Then add it to editor.
