Question

I'm looking for a framework for GWT to visualize graphs such as workflow/process diagrams (ideally BPMN capabilites) with a useable auto-layouter and nice shapes. GraphViz has a good layouter but the shapes are not very nice (except you implement your owns).

Unfortunatelly GWT-Diagram seems to be abandoned.

Cheers!

Solution

I hope I'm wrong, but I suspect you're out of luck. Decent diagramming frameworks are rare as hens' teeth. You might have some luck with mxgraph (from jgraph), but according to this question over here I suspect that's the best available. GWT-Links looks alive, but very young.

OTHER TIPS

At jgraph you can find a mxGraph library which is a JavaScript based diagramming framework. A GWT version of it is in development. For a hint about it's capabilities you can go to Diagram.ly. The GWT version will be just as powerful.

Disclaimer : I am a developer associated with JGraph and I'm currently working on creating a GWT versions of Diagram.ly and mxGraph.

Update

We have setup a github repo. You can checkout our latest source from here.

You can use draw2d and gef(eclipse Graphical Editing Framework) to develop your GWT Diagram App Now. look at this: http://code.google.com/p/trufun-webrcp/
the GWT framework with completely open source based on html5 technology, is used to transplant eclipse RCP to GWT WEB.

Take a look at oryx-editor this is what Jboss uses for its web based workflow editor (Guvnor).

Hope this sparks some ideas.
