Prerequisites

• We recommend to use Eclipse Indigo. The edition (32bit/64bit) must match your Java edition.
• If you are using the fox-designer, please uninstall the fox-designer plugin before using the Camunda Modeler. You can uninstall already installed plugins in the following menu: Help -> Install New Software… -> What is already installed?.

  Download & Update Sites

You can either install the Eclipse plugin into your existing IDE using the Camunda Update Sites or download a pre-packaged distribution which has the plugin already installed:

• Install using an update site: read content on this page below.

Troubleshooting

NoClassDefFoundError: graphiti

If you experience NoClassDefFoundErrors like the one shown here, graphiti was not properly installed. Graphiti is a framework used by the Camunda Modeler. This rarely happens, however it can occur if you had another plug-in installed using a different version of graphiti before the Camunda Modeler (one common example would be the Activiti Designer).

If this happens you have two options:

• Restart with a fresh Eclipse.
• Install graphiti manually as shown in the left screenshot (please note that the version might change, currently use the latest 0.8.x version or check which version is referenced in the Camunda Modeler update site).

  Unhandled loop exception

If the Modeler behaves strangely and you are getting exceptions like this, please try the following:

• Clean up your Eclipse.
• Depending on your models, you might want to give Eclipse more resources. You may do so by appending the following lines in the eclipse.ini file residing next to your Eclipse executable.

If these options already exist, remove them first.
