Hi Kaya,

This seems to be a known bug. See http://www.eshea.net/2009/01/26/alfresco-jbpm/

The XML generated by the Diagram view generates a NullPointerException in WorkflowUtil.prepareTaskParams because the start step has no task, so just insert <task name="wf:someRandomText"/> in the start node using the XML view.

I updated the wiki to explain this.

Cheers,
Nicolas Raoul
