Hi Kris, I did use this documentation and the problem is that with all my combinations of eclipse version/brand and java versions I can install all the plugins (graphiti and bpmn 2.0) successfully but after restarting eclipse I don't see the artefacts that should be available ("file new ...." or special

views).

I will give it another try with eclipse helios SR2 (this seems to be the version used in the screencast) and get back here if the problem still

remains (with my tries I used helios and indigo).

So, I did install eclipse helios sr2 modelling version, ggraphiti and bpmn 2.0 plugins and am running java 6.

When I create a sample project and import the bpmn 2.0 sample projects into mine I see the picture

I have attached - so I guess the plugin is not active.

I have also attached a screenshot of the installed plugins.

Hi, it seems to me that Graphiti has problems under Mac OS X. I tried to install it under eclipse 3.6 and also 3.7 (graphiti 0.7.1 resp. 0.8.0)

and I did not see either the Graphiti documentation, not its examples.

Guess I will give it a try under my windows VMWare image and come back with the results.

P.S. I love eclipse, you install plugins and get no feedback if they are working at all ...

Ok, installed under windows (7, 32 bit), everything worked fine (graphiti and bpmn 2.0) - so far so good:)

Under Mac it seems to me that Graphiti is not working at all; I tried it now with eclipse 3.7 (same version as on windows) with

both java 1.6 (64bit) and 1.5 (32 bit) and none worked.

So, thank you very much for your help but I guess I have to clarify this with the Graphiti support, its really a shame that

everything is that complicated under mac:(

  thank you, c

Ok, last note on this:

using mac os x (version 10.5.8 for me) you have to stick with

• the 64bit version of eclipse helios (I am using eclipse helios SR2 for java developers)
• Java 1.6.0, 64bit (I am running 1.6.0_024 which is the latest version of Java on mac right now)
• graphiti 0.7.1 (as the 0.8.0 version is only for indigo and the plugins do not work with 0.8.0)

and everything forks fine. Hope this is a good reference for others in the future.

Many thanks to Kris for his help!!
