I've found this post about BPMN files designer, I tried to open designer window in every way, but i can only open diagram preview. Did anyone use jBPM plugin and can tell me how can I open designer window?

Edit

For simplicity, i'm using this bpmn file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
 
<definitions id="definitions"
xmlns="http://www.omg.org/spec/BPMN/20100524/MODEL"
targetNamespace="http://www.activiti.org/bpmn2.0">
 
  <process id="helloWorld">
 
    <startEvent id="start" />
    <sequenceFlow id="flow1" sourceRef="start" targetRef="script" />
    <scriptTask id="script" name="HelloWorld" scriptFormat="groovy">
      <script>
        System.out.println("Hello world")
      </script>
    </scriptTask>
    <sequenceFlow id="flow2" sourceRef="script" targetRef="theEnd" />
    <endEvent id="theEnd" />
 
</process>
 
</definitions>

It's from tutorial

You don't need any third-party plug-ins, the bundled plug-in works just fine. We've recorded a screencast which shows how to use it:

Make sure you have at least 2016.3.x IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate version.

  • My problem is i did everything that you've included in screencast (thank you) but still I don't see the designer tab, I only see text xml and i can generate diagram, but can't open designer. See edited post – Kamil Banaszczyk Apr 18 '17 at 12:16
  • v. 2016.1.2 built on April 29, 2016 – Kamil Banaszczyk Apr 18 '17 at 12:18
  • You need at least 2016.3 version, the screencast is from 2017 version. – CrazyCoder Apr 18 '17 at 12:20
  • OK, thank you, unfortunetely my company have this as the latest version :) you can add this explanation to answer for future – Kamil Banaszczyk Apr 18 '17 at 12:20

    This doesn't work with the latest version of intelliJ. Is there any support or alternate options for this plugin ? – Sathiesh Oct 13 '19 at 03:44
  • @Sathiesh please [report a bug](https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/newIssue?project=IDEA) with more details. – CrazyCoder Oct 13 '19 at 03:45
  • I am using 2021.1 , the designer tab is visible after installing the plugin, however when I navigate to the designer tab, a notification pops up: "generating Designer component" and after that Intellij just hangs and doesn't respond. I tried increasing memory etc, nothing is working to my disappointment. – Divas Jul 13 '21 at 09:09
