BPMN Visualization

BPMN visualization provides a functionality to generate the diagramm interchange information for a given BPMN model.

Getting Started

To use the bpmn visualization, simply include the maven dependency on the project.

<dependency>
    <groupId>science.aist</groupId>
    <artifactId>bpmn-viz</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0</version>
    <scope>compile</scope> <!-- Note: this is default -->
</dependency>

Then you are able to load generate the diagramm interchange information the following way:

// Create the repository to load the definition elements
XMLRepository<TDefinitions> repository = new BPMNTDefinitionsRepository();
// Load the root element
JAXBElement<TDefinitions> tDefinitionsJAXBElement = repository.load(...);
// Create the processing data
BpmnProcessorData bpmnProcessorData = new BpmnProcessorData(tDefinitionsJAXBElement, horizontalLayout);
// create the auto layouter
BpmnAutoLayout bpmnAutoLayout = new BpmnAutoLayout(bpmnProcessorData);
// run the auto layouting
bpmnAutoLayout.execute();
// save the element back again (note: the org. element is manipulated)
repository.save(tDefinitionsJAXBElement, ...);

Building the BPMN visualization yourself

If you want to build the project yourself, just checkout this git repo, make sure you have jdk 11 or above installed as well as maven 3.6.0 or above and build the project by running the maven command: mvn package. This results in a jar-file inside the target folder, which can be used as a dependency in other projects.
