Is that not what you're looking for?

If you have JAVA classes the simplest thing I can think of is:

In one of your earlier JAVA classes:

public void execute(DelegateExecution exec) {
    ———
    exec.setVariable("procInstId", exec.getProcessInstanceId());
    ———
}

Later, in the user task you can have a non-writeable form field saying Process Instance Id with default value ${procInstId}

Don't know if it has per distribution code snapshots. But, my solution works with just the war. What I suggested needs to be done in a service task.

Thanks Sankalp.

If I understand correct, I have to modify my workflow to include the service task you mentioned. unfortunately I can't change my workflow. Is there something we can do in the activiti-explorer code base for process instance ID to show up on task screen.

The source is open, so you can change it anyway you want and create a new war file yourself.
