Hi Tuffo.

There are 2 issues
1. There are 2 start events with the same ID


<process id="process_v1" name="Lead_generator_process_v1" isExecutable="true">
    <startEvent id="startevent2" name="Start" activiti:initiator="initiator">


   <subProcess id="subprocess1" name="Source Selection">
      <startEvent id="startevent2" name="Start"></startEvent>

2. sequence flow is referencing non existing source ref startevent1


<sequenceFlow id="flow2" sourceRef="startevent1" targetRef="subprocess1"></sequenceFlow>

I created jUnit test for it.
https://github.com/martin-grofcik/activiti-unit-test-template/tree/export-eclipse-import-activiti-explorer

It throws an exception:


org.activiti.engine.ActivitiIllegalArgumentException: unknown type 'user' approver
 at org.activiti.engine.impl.form.FormTypes.parseFormPropertyType(FormTypes.java:55)

I thing you will be able to cope with it.
