I would like to know whether there any drawing tools available to map a given use case solution in terms of EIPs. There is a stencil available for MS Visio and a SVG alternative for OpenOffice. The shapes in the stencil is good but does not seem like the best graphics for a presentation. Any alternatives available for drawing EIPs? Thanks in advance.
Although you probably won't find the code samples useful, the patterns in this book are close to timeless, and can still be applied to problems over 15 years later.
Enterprise integration patterns (EIP) is a catalog of design patterns for developing systems to integrate new and existing software in a business environment.
This pattern language consisting of 65 integration patterns helps developers design and build distributed applications or integrate existing ones. The patterns provide a technology-independent vocabulary and visual notation harvested from proven solutions to recurring problems.
Btw you could automate that. Check this:

diagrams.net has a set of EIP stencils built-in. I'm not sure if it addresses the issues in the question, but the tool is free. (I'm a developer on the project).

I've created an OmniGraffle EIP stencil years ago for the book Spring Integration in Action. I pushed it to Graffletopia, but I cannot find it there quickly. Let me know if you are interested in the OmniGraffle stencil and I'll search a bit more.
