Abstract
A mechanism is provided in a data processing system having a processor and a memory. The memory comprises instructions which are executed by the processor to cause the processor to implement a graphical editor for managing L-shaped swim lanes in a graphical view of an application process. The graphical editor receives a data serialization file representing a process flow of a software application. The graphical editor renders each synchronous node in the process flow in the graphical view of the application process. A swim lane rendering engine executing within the graphical editor creates an L-shaped swim lane for each asynchronous node in the process flow in the graphical view of the application process. The graphical editor presents the graphical view of the application process via an output device.
