Including the modeler via a web browser in a Java application is of course possible.

Hi,
Thank you for the information. Just a couple of questions..
Do you a have a guide or some tips about how to embed the designer into a java application? What would be the minimum set of modules that we have to carry from the eclipse plugin?

Hi Adrian,

This would mean you'll have to built an Eclipse RCP application.
In the RCP application you'll need the dependencies listed in the org.activiti.designer.feature project.
But that would probably mean you'll have to develop the Java application with SWT.
Or you need to bridge with SWT and the UI technologie of your choice.

Best regards,
