Are there any tools to help the user to design a State Machine to be consumed by my application?

When reading this question I remembered there was something I have been researching for a while now and I though Stackoverflow could be of help.

I have created a framework that handles applications as state machines. Currently all the state business logic and transactions are handled via Java code.

I was looking for some UI implementation that would allow the user to draw the state machines and transactions and generate a file that can later on be consumed by my framework to "run" the workflow according to one or more defined state machines.

Ideally I would like to use an open standard like SCXML. The goal as the UI would be to have something like this plugin IBM have for Rational Software Architect:

Do you know any editor, plugin or library that would have something similar or at least serve as a good starting point?
