> Im not experienced with eclipse, java nor maven, yet I have overcome some problems by my own:

Eclipse development is really hard … Trust me, I tried and it screws with me every single time i do it.

I really like the fact you are trying to fix this problem! But i'm afraid you'll need quite some technical bagage to get this going…

Thank you for reply.

Unfortunately giving up is not an option for me, as this is urgent assignment I got in my new job. More generally, I have to develop and customize workflow in Alfresco and I am looking for best tools to get things done.

So far I have tested Kickstart Eclipse plugin (it has dropdown issue), Activiti Design plugin and I've read alfresco-developer-series-tutorials, especially the workflow part but it is so complicated and error prone that only the Kickstart plugin looks like the right choice.

Maybe there are some other tools I am not aware of? Some sort of browser-based maybe? Could you please give me some advice about prefered way of workflow development?

Best Regards,
Dawid Derucki

No, as far as I know nothing like that exists (maybe Alfresco partners have some solutions?). It's cumbersome indeed and very error-prone.
