This is a potential enhancement.
BPMN 2.0 addresses a fairly big scope.  When reusing or customizing the BPMN2 modeler it might be handy to be able to hide some elements of the palette.  So users can focus on the subset of elements that they really need.

An extension point would be a good way customized the modeler.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.currently the only extension point is org.eclipse.bpmn2.modeler.custom_task (from org.eclipse.bpmn2.modeler.core).  I could not find any other extension point to do what I would need to do.

Check out the "modelEnablement" extension point API. If this isn't what you are looking for, let me know.

Thanks.  It looks like it is what I am looking for.  My initial mistake was to use bpmn2-modeler from the wrong update site (codehoop).  Now I can see the runtime extension point.

I didn't get it to work (I only used runtime + modelenablement, and I get a NPE when creating a bpmn2 file), but I will post my questions on the user forum.

Thanks.

Thanks.  It works just fine.
