BPMN Designer 3.0 is out and this new version is running on Sirius. Now, this graphical designer based on the BPMN2 standard offers you a complete Open Source experience. As our other open graphical designers, you can easily adapt or extend it according to your needs (for example to modify existing diagram types or to extend existing ones) but you can also integrate it into your own solution. BPMN Designer can be downloaded for free from Obeo Marketplace....

  Continuing the Sirius blog posts series, today we will see a small tip: how to create artificial containers in your diagram? One of the main advantage of Sirius is that the graphical representations are independent from the metamodel’s structure. This means that you can choose to not respect the containment hierarchy of your model when you display it graphically. This is possible thanks to Sirius being based on queries. In the following example, we define a metamodel of a family: To begin with, we define a Flat diagram, which displays all the members of the family at the same level: In the Person mapping, we use the Semantic Candidates Expression to provide which semantic elements must be represented. These expressions returning model elements are called queries. To write these queries, there are different languages provided by default in Sirius: specialized interpreters (var, feature, service), Acceleo, raw OCL or Java. Here, we use the feature interpreter to get for a f...

The Alberta University in Canada recently published a paper to describe ChainTracker, a tool for the visualization and trace analysis of complex generators, composed of multiple model transformators and code generators. The first version of ChainTracker supports Acceleo and ATL.  ...

In this video, Laurent Charles (Enalean) and Laurent Delaigue (Obeo) will introduce Tuleap Agile Planner for Eclipse. The objective of the talk, in addition to present the first EPL Agile Planner integrated in eclipse, is to present a return on experience on how 3 companies worked together in an Agile way, within an Agile business, to provide a 100% libre and open source solution within the Eclipse ecosystem.

The talk was recorded at EclipseCon Europe 2014.

Hello, 2014 was a very full year for us at Obeo where notably we developed a community for Sirius, our Open Source solution for creating custom modeling tools. Openness is part of Obeo's DNA. That is why right from the outset Obeo has always opted for Open Source where we can work transparently with our clients and partners to create flexible, accessible, and long-term solutions capable of adapting to changing technical landscapes and business contexts. This is also at the heart of our contribution to the development of the Eclipse ecosystem; building a virtuous circle that profits both its users and innovators. Following this vein we have adapted our Obeo Designer product to combine the advantages of Open Source with the quality and level of support you expect from a professional software provider. On behalf of the Obeo team, I wish you all a very Happy New Year 2015. Etienne Juliot - Obeo vice-president   Product news Obeo Designer 7 A new major release has be...
