Sorry for the late reply, the JIRA issue is the right way 😉
We'll have a look at the patch and if there are no concerns it will be merged with Activiti trunk.

Thanks,

Hi there, nice stuff, any updates on this yet?

I'm about to implement this feature as I need attachments for email tasks, what would you recommend me to do taking into account that this is 'perhaps' going to be merged officially ?

Also, I would need some help to apply this patch, as i haven't done it before (kind of newbie, but impossible is nothing, huh?). Tell me if I miss anything:

If i'm right, I have to apply this patch to the activiti-engine sources and use my custom (patched) jar instead of the official maven release.

Digging around I found another solution to this problem (http://forums.activiti.org/comment/25943#comment-25943) with less modifications but seems to do the same (overwrite emailtaskbehavior)

What should I do to make it less painful on later updates?

Thanks in advance for comments and suggestions

Hi,

the easiest way to get your proposal into the activiti source is to clone project from GitHub and create pull request.
