Yes, see http://activiti.org/userguide/index.html#eclipseDesignerExtending

The Modeler is also possible, but this is not documented.

Hi,

I've tried adding activiti palette customization as per the user guide (ACME-money examle), but I'm unable to see new palette item.

Steps I've done :
1. changed pom.xml as suggested in user guide
2. done mvn clean install and copied the jar to other location.
3. added the jar to activiti designer.

Error Message :
"There was an error when processing an extension to activiti designer. The extension at location …….. is not open. Please make sure it is not installed inside the eclipse workspace "

Where did I go wrong ?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance

Regards,
Nirvana

Hi

I've downloaded the money task source code - compiled and compressed it to a jar file.

For getting the money-task palette item in modeler, where should I copy this jar file ?
From where will the palette items are loaded and displayed in modeler ?

Thanks in advance.

Nirvana

modeler = javascript
designer = eclipse and thus java.

a jar is not going to work on the modeler, being html and javascript

I have the exact same problem. The activiti palette customization worked regularly, when suddenly I get the error from Eclipse:

"There was an error when processing an extension to activiti designer. The extension at location …….. is not open. Please make sure it is not installed inside the eclipse workspace "

Obviously, the jar is not in the workspace, but in a different directory.

I use:
- MacBook Pro Retina 2013
- OS X Versione 10.9 (Maverik)
- Eclipse Java EE IDE Version: Kepler Service Release 1
- Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_09-b05)

May depend on what? What can I do?

Yep, same here, I can confirm this bug. It used to work a while ago, but now all I'm getting is this (obviously wrong) error message. It doesn't even work with the money-task example anymore. Tried to unload activiti-related plugins in the target platform, but this does not solve anything either.
Any ideas for a workaround?

Thanks for reporting this, it should be fixed on the Github master now.
Are you able to test it from there or do you need an eclipse update site?

Thanks,
