IntelliJ IDEA Plugin for BPMN designer

Question

I've found this post about BPMN files designer, I tried to open designer window in every way, but i can only open diagram preview. Did anyone use jBPM plugin and can tell me how can I open designer window?

Edit

For simplicity, i'm using this bpmn file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
 
<definitions id="definitions"
xmlns="http://www.omg.org/spec/BPMN/20100524/MODEL"
targetNamespace="http://www.activiti.org/bpmn2.0">
 
  <process id="helloWorld">
 
    <startEvent id="start" />
    <sequenceFlow id="flow1" sourceRef="start" targetRef="script" />
    <scriptTask id="script" name="HelloWorld" scriptFormat="groovy">
      <script>
        System.out.println("Hello world")
      </script>
    </scriptTask>
    <sequenceFlow id="flow2" sourceRef="script" targetRef="theEnd" />
    <endEvent id="theEnd" />
 
</process>
 
</definitions>

It's from tutorial

Solution

You don't need any third-party plug-ins, the bundled plug-in works just fine. We've recorded a screencast which shows how to use it:

Make sure you have at least 2016.3.x IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate version.

My problem is i did everything that you've included in screencast (thank you) but still I don't see the designer tab, I only see text xml and i can generate diagram, but can't open designer. See edited post

You need at least 2016.3 version, the screencast is from 2017 version.

This doesn't work with the latest version of intelliJ. Is there any support or alternate options for this plugin ?

@Sathiesh please report a bug with more details.

I am using 2021.1 , the designer tab is visible after installing the plugin, however when I navigate to the designer tab, a notification pops up: "generating Designer component" and after that Intellij just hangs and doesn't respond. I tried increasing memory etc, nothing is working to my disappointment.
