Im not sure. If it's not there out of the box, it's possible we must add something to make it work. But then it isn't there for the moment for sure.

> Also, I would like to open the bpmn file in text editor or xml editor. How can I do that when I am looking at the diagram?

Simply right click on the file and choose Open With > XML/TExt editor

Hi Joram,
Thanks for the answer.

If the file is showing in the navigator (project or package explorer) I can right click on it and open in text/xml editor. However, here is my use case. I find my bpmn file use Ctrl+Shift+R. Then it opens the bpmn file using activiti diagram editor. At this point, the navigator does not show the file since "Link with editor" does not work and I cannot right click in the editor pane to change the editor for the bpmn file to xml or text editor.
If you can suggest some way to make this work, that will be great. Thanks
