I'm trying to use Drools Gorm plugin to build process in my Grails application. Therefore, it is needed to use bpmn diagrams in order to instanciate a process. For this, i'm started to use two eclipse plugins: the BPMN2 and Graphiti (that is required for the first one).
But, when i try to create a .bpmn file on src/diagrams, i'm getting this error on output alert screen:
Error org/eclipse/graphiti/ui/editor/diagrameditorfactory
I looked everywhere and i don't find any reasonable solutions. Any help is welcome!
Did you try the drools jBPM plugin? It seems to work pretty well. If you are alright with using another editor, you should try that. The update site is located here

I am doing some research before putting my hand on a project.i need to implement an app that needs to read a diagram file generated by graphiti and parse the file as a standalone app without running in eclipse as plugin.
As I understand , graphiti is a plugin in eclipse,so lots of things are inited by eclipse , so is it possible? Could u plz point me to the right place?
Thanks
Looks like Graphiti needs an OSGI environment to operate. It is possible to read a diagram file in a standlone OSGI app without bringing up the UI. I have some sample code here that starts an OSGI app and reads a diagram file. I guess the question is what you'd want to do with that diagram once the file is read - if your intention is to export that diagram to an image then you'd need the UI (an RCP app could do the trick) - sample code is here which relies on a fix (eclipse bug id 423018) that just landed in graphiti 0.13.x
As I have done the following tutorials:
http://www.vogella.com/tutorials/EclipseRCP/article.html
http://www.vogella.com/tutorials/EclipseJFaceTable/article.html
http://www.vogella.com/tutorials/EclipseJFaceTableAdvanced/article.html
I wanted to combine the JFace table viewer (plugin from 2nd and 3rd tutorial) and the ToDo application from the first tutorial. In the JFace table example(s) there is a View extended from a ViewPart. In this the call:
getSite().setSelectionProvider(view)
inside the createPartControl method is fine and works.
But when I do the same in the other tutorial it does not work, I get a NullPointerException. The first article creates a plugin and then transform it using features and products into an Eclipse 4 application. So the classes in the application are not derived from a 'Part'. They are referenced using the application model and only use the annotation #PostConstruct.
Why is it that I get this NullPointerException?
And really, how can I get the SelectionProvider service linked to the Workbench?
I also tried to use PlatformUI.getWorkbench() but it says that the workbench does not yet exist.
Any help highly appreciated.
Thanks.
Eclipse 4 (e4) applications are completely different from traditional Eclipse 3.x style applications.
In an e4 application you cannot use a lot of things that are used in a Eclipse 3.x application - so you need to check which style the example you are using is based on. The e4 application has access to a lot of new features that are not available in a 3.x application.
In an e4 application you inject the ESelectionService to get and set the current selection.
I've been trying for a while now to do something a bit strange...
I need to invoke some code that gets executed by a eclipse rcp wizard window from outside the rcp environment.
Basically some third party team has built an installer using the eclipse rcp framework and one of the functionalities of this installer is to export some data.
I need to perform that same data export programmatically but from outside this whole rcp scope. (basically from ant).
The issues I seem to be facing are connected to not having the org.osgi.framework.BundleContext objects populated.
Any idea how I can mock them?
thank you in advance
Found the answer... import org.springframework.osgi.mock;
I am trying to add a WebService Service Task to a process in JBPM. I would like to add and configure the task directly from the process design tool.
JBPM has 3 possible tools that you can use to create a process, eclipse plugins: RulesFlow editor and BPMN2 Modeler, as well as a Onyx Designer incorporated into Drools. So far I have not managed to do this in any of them.
I was able to add the WS to the process by manually editing the process XML file (as shown here: http://mswiderski.blogspot.com/2012/07/service-task-with-web-service.html) but we need to be able to do it in a graphical tool (business reasons, don't ask). BPMN2 Modeler comes closest to the generated XML that would in theory work, but when I try to run it, it comes out with a bunch of errors.
I know that the link I provided states that the tools don't yet provide the WS functionality but maybe someone has some ideas as to this problem. Any help will be appreciated.
I don't believe you can directly create a service task from the design tools. I've followed this here :
And after you've created your work item definition, you should be able to see that you can add that service task in your process design. Just remember that you have to register that to your session before you start the process. Hope this helps
I work on a fairly simple but large two-tier application that consists approximately 40 Eclipse RCP plugins. We have a new use case that is taking us to the web for a very small portion of this functionality. I'd like to prototype this using Lift. Clearly, I'm facing a few challenges.
Lift + OSGi. Can Lift get at OSGi bundles? Can it be packaged as an OSGi bundle itself and integrated into a web container?
Build System. We use the archaic Eclipse PDE build (read: Eclipse has no build system) with Cruise Control. Lift uses Maven.
Development Environment. This one I'm not sure anyone can help me with. I've tried to use the Scala plugin with Eclipse and it's still not ready. There are just too many impediments to make it useful. Saying that, I don't see this as a major issue because I can keep all the Lift code in one module, only referencing the Java code a very specific areas.
I'm wondering if anyone has tried anything similar to this and has any advice. Note that I won't be using any of the ORM stuff in Lift because all persistence is managed in the existing plugins behind an API. So, am I barking up the wrong tree? Is there something else I need to be aware of?
I could revert to simply using these instructions but I'd really like to take Lift for a spin because Java is... well... it's Java. :-(
There's thread in google groups about using lift as an OSGi bundle.
For the build system as far as I remember PDE sit's on top of ant, so you can use maven for building lift related stuff first and then call PDE's build.xml
