<h1>BPMN2 Modeler</h1>
<p>
- The Eclipse BPMN2 Modeler is a graphical tool for authoring models that are compliant with the
- <a href="http://www.omg.org/spec/BPMN/2.0/">BPMN 2.0 standard</a>.
- <a href="http://www.bpmn.org/">Business Process Model and Notation</a> (BPMN) is an XML language for modeling business processes.
- The primary goal of BPMN is to provide a notation that is readily understandable by all business users, from the business
- analysts that create the initial drafts of the processes, to the technical developers responsible for implementing the
- technology that will perform those processes, and finally, to the business people who will manage and monitor those
- processes. Thus, BPMN creates a standardized bridge for the gap between the business process design and process implementation.
+ The Eclipse BPMN2 Modeler is a graphical modeling tool for authoring business processes.
+ The primary goal of BPMN2 Modeler was to provide a graphical workflow editing framework,
+ which can be easily customized for any BPMN 2.0 compliant execution engine.

+<h1>Background</h1>
+ <p>
+ <a href="http://www.omg.org/spec/BPMN/2.0/">Business Process Model and Notation</a>
+ is an XML language which was proposed by the
+ <a href="http://www.omg.org">Object Management Group</a> (OMG), as a notation for describing
+ not only business workflows (a.k.a. "processes")
+ but also higher-level collaborations between internal or external business partners and the
+ choreography of information exchanged between these business partners.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The BPMN language was intended for users at all levels, from the business analysts who
+ create the initial design, to the developers who implement the technical details,
+ and finally, to the business users responsible for managing and monitoring the processes.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ BPMN 2.0 has evolved to become a complex specification which tries to be all things to all people involved
+ in the design of business processes and, as such, almost requires the use of graphical tools
+ for authoring and maintaining these design documents.
+ BPMN2 Modeler fills this need nicely by providing a readily understandable user interface.
+ It interprets the complexities of the BPMN language in the form of drawing canvases,
+ tool palettes, property sheets and other familiar UI elements.
