To generate BPMN out of a BPEL file,
create a project, in which you create both a bpmn diagram and paste a
bpel file.
Then you drag and drop the BPEL file over the diagram.
If you want to know more about BPMN shapes generation, best is to look
at the API that the sample uses.

we aren't 1.0 yet, so the API isn't frozen.
The API is quite simple though.
You build an existing model or create a new model, depending how you
initialize the generator, then you add elements to it by doing
Pool p = gen.addPool("name");
Activity a = gen.addActivity(p, a, "Activity");
when you are done generating, you generate the views.
gen.generateViews();
Please open a bug to that regard, and eventually contribute a wiki page ?
Thanks,

Hello,
In an earlier post, Antoine describes the usage of the
BPEL2BPMNGenerator class once the plug-in has been installed
successfully. In this post I will respond to the other part of my
question, that is, how to get the plug-in running.
Not sure if the following remarks are commonplace for the initiated
plug-in/STP developer. Anyway, here's my short "Howto execute the
BPEL2BPMNGenerator":
1) I downloaded and installed Eclipse version 3.3.1.1 and used the
update manager to add the STP plug-ins. To this end the "Europa
discovery site" served well because with it I could "Select Required"
packages automatically (I failed to install STP manually with downloads
from http://download.eclipse.org/stp/downloads/ because of missing
plug-ins that I will probably never know of).
2) I obtained the files of the BPEL2BPMNGenerator exsample from
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/ (choosing "STP_Project" as the
repository).
3) I edited the plug-in manifest:
a) In the "Build" tab I selected the classes folder, "about.html", and
the "plugin.xml" file to be included in the binary build.
b) In the "Dependencies" tab I added ALL proposed plug-ins and then used
the "Find unused dependencies" feature. I would not have been able to
find the minimum required plug-ins by hand ...
4) I created a run configuration for the plug-in to execute it as an
"Eclipse Application". I very much appreciated the "Validate Plug-ins"
button in the "Plug-ins" tab of the "Run" configuration dialog because
it helped me find out that plug-ins (from the "STP Remote Update Site"
this time, at http://download.eclipse.org/stp/updates/) were still
missing in my Eclipse environment.
5) I also added a line
xmlns:bpel="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2003/03/business-process/"
to the "process" element that was missing in the BPEL example file
provided with the BPEL2BPMNGenerator example.
6) To finish, I proceeded as Antoine describes to convert the BPEL
example into a BPMN diagram. The plug-in revealed itself operational by
proposing a "Generate BPMN Shapes From The BPEL File" entry in the menu
after dropping the BPEL file in the diagram.
Regards,
Hans

Antoine,
I wrote a small plug-in (or rather: I had Eclipse write it for me) that
adds a pool and a task to an existing diagram (see below). It differs
slightly from what you described in your previous post. Is this an
indication of the rapidity in which the API changes? :-)
Is programmatic diagram generation with the Intalio Designer possible in
the same way as with STP? Is it possible to plug into the Designer in
order to a) traverse a diagram edited with the Designer b) insert
diagram elements specific to the Designer into a diagram there? Could
you give me a hint on how to achieve this?
Thank you again in advance.
Regards,
Hans

We had to redo the drag and drop six months ago to have a better CPU
use. :) Sorry for the inconvenience, we did not have the time to rewrite
the tutorial accordingly.

Yes, because Intalio is based on the STP BPMN modeler.

You can today open the Intalio designer and drop your BPEL file into it,
it should work.

Hello Antoine,
my plug-in adds an entry to the main menu using the following extensions:
org.eclipse.ui.commands
org.eclipse.ui.handlers
org.eclipse.ui.bindings
org.eclipse.ui.menus
It works fine with Eclipse 3.3.1 "Europa" but not with the Intalio
Designer 5.0 Beta. I don't understand why this is so?
Also, I would like to create BPMN diagrams in the Designer just using
the API and without transforming any BPEL files. Are there additional
API functions that I can use to create diagram elements specific to the
Designer just like I used methods of class BPMNVisual2ProcessGenerator
to create pools, tasks, etc?
Does sample code exist for Intalio Designer that demonstrates how this
can be achieved?
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Hans

We had to redo the drag and drop six months ago to have a better CPU
use. :) Sorry for the inconvenience, we did not have the time to rewrite
the tutorial accordingly.

Yes, because Intalio is based on the STP BPMN modeler.

You can today open the Intalio designer and drop your BPEL file into it,
it should work.

Hello Antoine,
my plug-in adds an entry to the main menu using the following extensions:
org.eclipse.ui.commands
org.eclipse.ui.handlers
org.eclipse.ui.bindings
org.eclipse.ui.menus
It works fine with Eclipse 3.3.1 "Europa" but not with the Intalio
Designer 5.0 Beta. I don't understand why this is so?
Also, I would like to create BPMN diagrams in the Designer just using
the API and without transforming any BPEL files. Are there additional
API functions that I can use to create diagram elements specific to the
Designer just like I used methods of class BPMNVisual2ProcessGenerator
to create pools, tasks, etc?
Does sample code exist for Intalio Designer that demonstrates how this
can be achieved?
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Hans
