Created attachment 209679 [details]
Model in error

When importing a BPMN model which includes boundary events, the DI info for the event might be parsed before the DI info of the bpmn element it is attached to.

(see the attached model)

The Graphiti container is not existing for this parent element which will cause an NPE during the position calculation / layouting of the boundary event.

I fixed this by using a queue for the import process, to postpone the boundary event shape creation to an point where the the parent shape must have been created:

It would be great to see this fix, or an equivalent in the master.
