Starting Business Process Modeler

Business Process Modeler uses the Eclipse-based Integrated Development Environment (IDE), a comprehensive cross-platform environment to provide a stable, universal platform for application development. This open, scalable, and standards-based development environment reduces the time spent in application development and supports a user’s choice of version control system and application server. The current version of Business Process Modeler is based on the Eclipse Foundation SDK (version 3.7) IDE.
