BpmnExporter (class)

Exports a Business Process diagram as BPMN 2.0 XML (semantic model + BPMN DI). Without pools, a single bpmn:process is emitted (sequence flows only). With BpmnPoolNode pools, a bpmn:collaboration is emitted with one participant + process per pool; nodes are assigned to pools by geometric containment; BpmnMessageFlow lines (or lines crossing pools) become bpmn:messageFlow. BpmnLaneNode lanes become bpmn:laneSet/bpmn:lane with flowNodeRefs.
